Is DNA like a fuel cell?

Is the DNA bases bound tightly in the chromosome like a fuel cell?

Can particles get caught or trapped within this fuel cell?

Can it heal itself?

If there are billions of cells in the human body, and the DNA from each cell is 6 feet long, thats a pretty long number of bases in the human body. In fact, all the DNA in your body would be 67 billion miles long if stretched end to end.
