Arrowhead indicates strand of protoplasm extending towards cell wall (bar = 2 m).
Both nuclei have already divided and are situated at opposite sides of the protoplasm, and, in addition, the end-bead is clearly seen in process of division.
Nuclear division is here complete, there being four distinct masses of chromatin which are usually of about the same size; the blue-staining protoplasm is beginning to collect around each nucleus.
The protoplasm (cytoplasm in modern terms) was the transparent ground substance which contained granules.
The increased water content helps in maintaining the turgidity of the assimilatory cells and the proper hydration of their protoplasm.
To complete this description of the activity of the invariant protoplasm, an appropriate model was constructed.
The chromatin protruded in a fork-like manner into the buds of blue-staining protoplasm.
The protoplasm is very dense and contains granules.
