THE PHYSIOLOGY OF PLANTS. OUTLINE OF THE COURSE. PHYSIOLOGY, in its broad sense, includes all operationscarried on by living- matter. There is but one living substanceknown,—PROTOPLASM. Obviously the study of the physio-logical operations and processes of plants should be precededby a study of the structure and properties of the substancewhich is the sole physical basis of life and its a complete treatment of our present subject involvestwo divisions, which, with their leading subdivisions, are asfollows: Division I. THE STRUCTURE AXD PROPERTIES OF PROTO-PLASM. 1. Its composition,--molar, mechanical, physical, and chemical. 2. Its relations to external conditions. 3. Its power of organism-building. Division II. THE PHYSIOLOGICAL OPERATIONS OFPLANTS. 1. Nutrition. 2. Growth. 3. Reproduction. 4. Irritability. 5. Locomotion. 6. DIVISION I. THE STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF PROTOPLASM. Section i. The Composition of Protoplasm,—molar, me-chanical, physical, and chemical. 1. What is the molar composition (, the form and size ofthe masses) of the living Protoplasm of Plants? Your studies in previous courses have given you ample data for answering this question. Take time to think it over, recall and review your present knowledge, supplement it from books, lectures, or other available sources, and answer at your leisure. Leave page I in your laboratory book for tJiis. 2. What is the mechanical composition (, what structuresand diiferentiations has a single mass) of the living Protoplasm ofPlants ? Answer by concise descriptions, illustrated by logicallycomplete drawings, based upon a minute study of single proto-plasts of (a] the stamen-hairs of Tradescantia virginica, and(6) the tip-cells of Xitella.
