According to Huxley the protoplasm is the physical basis of life. Inside the cell wall of living cell the living substance is known as protoplasm. The protoplasm is a thick fluid or jellylike substance.
These two forms are not much differentiable from each other and may easily be transformed from one form to another. When found fluid state it seems to be more active. Generally it is greyish or somewhat yellowish in colour.
It is always transparent. Many small granules found in it are food granules. It is a very complex substance and found to be dispersed in the medium of water. It consists of ninety percent of water. The protoplasm found in the cells of the seeds contains less percentage of water, and therefore, it is of thick consistency.
