Excerpt from The Plant Cell, Its Modifications and Vital Processes: A Manual for Students IN order to study the life - phenomena of any organism, and to arrive at a definite explanation of them, it is often found necessary to enquire into its minute structure; and, in the case of the plant, the study of the cell, including its form, growth, component parts, and the varied conditions under which it can exist, is an essential part of the science of Botany, as a branch of Biology. The facts and features brought to light by the microscope, coupled with those pertaining to Chemistry and Physics, have long afforded proofs of statements and observations which were formerly only regarded in the light of speculation. In the following pages the object will be to give a con cise and correct idea Of the principal structural elements of plant-tissues; stress has been laid upon practical microscopical observations and reactions with various reagents, for these, although generally simple to perform, sometimes afford a very clear demonstration of important life-factors. A brief account has also been given of the most important chemical and physical phenomena occurring in a cell.
