SYNTHESIS, STORAGE AND BREAKDOWN 125 A somewhat different substance known as Reserve Cellulose occurs in certain seeds (Lupin, Date) : and the cell-walls are in consequence much thickened (Fig. 83). As its name implies, this substance is of nutritional rather than structural significance. During germination it is converted into sugars under the influence of an enzyme Cytase. Fats, although not carbohydrates, may be considered here. Fatty sub- stances may figure in the make-up of protoplasm, as already mentioned, and so be present in any living cell
