Biochemistry in the laws of physics

Peace, Your Honor,
To my knowledge, the bonds and forces that bind the components of a biological cell (for example) behave according to physical laws that are also valid in large systems, for example, primary embryonic cells that develop into a perfect and sophisticated organism, the basic materials in which behave according to physical rules in order to differentiate and develop further, how come external forces fail to disrupt this development? For example, a pregnant woman who jumps or receives a blow that is many times more powerful than those tiny physical forces, why don’t these cells malfunction from performing their function, as if another system [for example, a magnetic system] were to absorb an external blow that would violate all the bonds and relationships in the affected system.
Is there an exception here to what is known and accepted, or are the forces and connections operating at the small level of the cell strong enough not to go wrong (just as a person does not fall apart from every jump or blow)?

I don’t understand the question. Is this a biology question? It’s best to refer it to experts in this field.

To the questioner, the forces acting in a normal jump usually do not act in the opposite direction to the forces acting inside the cell to any significant extent. For example, a jump does not cause the hydrogen bonds between the DNA strands to break (and why would it?).
