A cell consists of four parts, namely: (1) the cell- wall (Fig. 172, w), or cell-membrane, a covering enclosing the cell-contents, which are (2) the protoplasm (Gr. pro- tos, first or primitive ; plasma, form), a transparent, semi- fluid substance (Fig. 172, ^r), con- taining (3) the nucleus, a spher- ical or oval body, denser than the protoplasm (Fig. 172, n), and (4) the cell-sap, a watery fluid oocu- pyiug cavities, called vacuoles (Fig. 172, v). Of these four parts the protoplasm is the only one essential to the growing cell; the other parts may be wanting; swarm spores have no cell-wall;. Fig. IVl, Common Mould (partially diagrammatic).
