Apply-ing this equation to Laminaria^^ (and expressing theresistance in the usual way as the per cent, of the normal)we may calculate the values of Cw, Cpj Rw, and Rp. Under normal conditions in sea water, the resistanceis taken as 100 and therefore C = 1 ^- 100, but in certain So far we have considered only the simplest case, when the plant isonly one cell thick. But it is evident that these considerations alsoapply when several membranes are placed together

But it is evident that these considerations alsoapply when several membranes are placed together, forming a masscomparable to the tissue of Laminaria. The only difference is in thatcase the current would traverse a very thin layer of cell wall in passingfrom one protoplasmic mass to the next, so that what we have spokenof as the resistance of the protoplasm would be composed in part ofthe resistance of these cell walls. When the protoplasm is dead thetotal resistance is only and the resistance of these cell walls mustbe only a small fraction of this. Conseque
