...Self-Duplicating Bodies." When the cells were allowed to multiply freely, some of the protein molecules characteristic of the nucleus (where the genes are) tended to flow into the "cytoplasm," the part of the cell outside the nucleus. This indicated (along with related biochemical data) that the genes were sending out "partial replicas" of themselves, which entered the cytoplasm and multiplied there independently...
...such cells contain a small spherical body called a nucleus, surrounded by a soft, jelly-like material called cytoplasm. Dotting the cytoplasm are tiny granules called mitochondria, whose function in life has been a mystery to physiologists...
...getting restless under the taxonomy of a monocotyledonous wage doctrine and a cryptogamic theory of interest, with involute, loculicidal, tomentous, and moniliform variants, what is the cytoplasm, centrosome, or karyokinetic process to which we may turn, and in which we may find surcease from the metaphysics of normality and controlling principles...
...Cell (protoplasm), biologists agree, is made up of two main parts: the yolk-like nucleus and the oily cytoplasm. Both nucleus and cytoplasm contain solid and liquid portions; in addition they contain further specialized units of matter: in the nucleus, membrane, nucleolus, chromosomes; in the cytoplasm, membrane, granules, vacuoles, plastids. It is the behavior of these infinitesimal units that biologists are now trying to study...
...learned that every one of the 28,000,000,000,000 (28 trillion) cells in the human body are alike in that each is a tiny electric cell. The positive pole is an ultra-minute acidic nucleus held within an oily (lipoid) film.* The rest of the cell, the cytoplasm, is slightly alkalin in reaction. Consequently a minute electric potential is set up between the acid nucleus and alkalin cytoplasm. The electrical charge accumulates on the lipoid film, breaks through, and thereby establishes electric balance between the two fluids. Immediately, however, another charge is generated. In fatigue the ability...
