Dan GruszynskiNARRATOR
Behind him, the crew whispered in its tank.
Dan GruszynskiNARRATOR
Protoplasm developed in the labs and quivering now with some unified sensation that was purely subjective and blissfully unconcerned with what happened outside itself.
Dan GruszynskiNARRATOR
It's sick, Kelly concluded with an emphatic clamp of his jaws.
Dan GruszynskiNARRATOR
It's not right.
Corinne LePageNARRATOR
Moreover, although observation may show that a seedling weighing only two or three grains may double its bulk and weight every week of its early growth, and may in time produce a huge amount of vegetable matter, it is still to be asked what this vegetable matter is, where it came from, and by what means plants are able to increase and accumulate it, and build it up into the fabric of herbs and shrubs and lofty trees.
Corinne LePageNARRATOR
Protoplasm All this fabric was built up under life, but only a small portion of it is at any one time alive.
Corinne LePageNARRATOR
As growth proceeds, life is passed on from the old to the new parts, much as it is passed on from parent to offspring, from generation to generation in unbroken continuity.
Corinne LePageNARRATOR
Protoplasm is the common name of that plant stuff in which life essentially resides.
Corinne LePageNARRATOR
All growth depends on it, for it has the peculiar power of growing and multiplying and building up a living structure, the animal no less than the vegetable structure, for it is essentially the same in both.
Corinne LePageNARRATOR
Indeed, all the animal protoplasm comes primarily from the vegetable, which has the prerogative of producing it, and the protoplasm of plants furnishes all that portion of the food of animals which forms their flesh and living fabric.

Corinne LePageNARRATOR
The work is done by the living protoplasm which dwells within the walls.
Corinne LePageNARRATOR
This also has to take and to assimilate its proper food for its own maintenance and growth.
Nicholas James BridgewaterNARRATOR
Submicrons, however, are generally already aggregations of molecules.
Nicholas James BridgewaterNARRATOR
In such a way, we can get at least a glimpse of the molecular structure of colloids and of protoplasm in particular.
Nicholas James BridgewaterNARRATOR
protoplasm in the same way as colloidal solutions must generally be considered as a heterogeneous system solid particles of different colloidal substances are suspended in a liquid the particles are of different sizes some do not differ in size from large molecules some form aggregations of molecules others consist of small masses of suspended substance others finally are but coarse particles already subjected to the force of gravitation and if allowed quietly deposit the particles besides may be of different physical conditions either liquid drops or solid bodies colloidal solutions indeed show quite a different physical behaviour if the suspended particles vary in size and in physical condition in the first case it is advisable to divide the colloidal solutions into several groups according to the solid or liquid state of the suspended particles colloidal solutions which contain solid particles may be called suspensions such as contain small suspended drops of liquids may be named emulsions instead of drops there may even occur in colloids small bubbles of gas then the colloid system more or less resembles froth it is possible that even in protoplasm small bubbles of gas are included forming a very fine foam according to the size of the suspended particles all these colloids show well-marked physical differences when the particles are comparatively large the constitution of the system is as a rule very unstable and the particles are inclined to deposit such suspensions are scarcely to be considered as colloidal systems but rather as a transition stage to colloids Protoplasm must, to a certain extent, have the properties of such a suspension.
Nicholas James BridgewaterNARRATOR
We must therefore ask what characteristics are found in these suspensions.
