Sometimes nitrogenous (especially albuminous) and non-nitro- genous (carbohydrates, fatty oils) substances occur in one and the same tissue. Protoplasm and starch occur in the potato, protoplasm and dissolved sugar in the beet, protein- granules (albumen) and starch in the cotyledons of beans, peas, and lentils. In other cases the reserve carbo- hydrates occur in the form of cellu- lose : thick-walled cells with numer-.
