And if we use this term with such caution as may properly arise out of our comparative ignorance of the things for which it stands, it may be truly said that all protoplasm is proteinaceous, or, as the white, or albumen, of an egg is one of the commonest examples of a nearly pure proteine matter, we may say that all living matter is more or less albuminoid.
"We'll run up to Cape Vincent first and on our way back we'll try out the course a little. Maybe we'll try only one leg of it " "Only one what?" broke in Sam, abruptly looking back at the boys as he spoke. "Oh, it's not an albuminoid rib, Sam, it's just one leg of the course. They don't have any artificial legs in such places."
A little fiber; one of the longitudinal threads into which a striped muscular fiber can be divided. An albuminoid substance contained in the flesh of animals, and also produced by the coagulation of blood. The act of bending a limb, etc. A little pouch or depression. The application of any warm, medicinal substance to the body, by which the vessels are relaxed. Foramen. A hole, or aperture.
Cartilage. A tough but flexible material forming a part of the joints, air passages, nostrils, ear; gristle, etc. The small, red, conical-shaped body at the inner angle of the eye, consisting of a cluster of follicles. The albuminoid substance of milk; it forms the basis of cheese. Catarrh. An inflammation of a mucous membrane, usually attended with an increased secretion of mucus.
Gluten. The glutinous albuminoid ingredient of cereals. Glycogen. Literally, "producing glucose." Animal starch found in liver, which may be changed into glucose. Gram. Unit of metric system, 15.43 grains troy. Groin. The lower part of the abdomen, just above each thigh. Belonging to the sense of taste. The practice of athletic exercises.
In various colloidal substances, including the albuminoid, isomeric change is accompanied by contraction or expansion, and consequent motion; and, in such primordial types as the Protogenes of Haeckel, which do not differ in appearance from minute portions of albumen, the observed motions are comprehensible as accompanying isomeric changes caused by variations in surrounding physical actions.

The one represents mere crystallizable matter, the other the more complex colloidal or albuminoid substance, or that capable of producing a much greater number of aggregates. The analogies, they concede, end here. But the difference is world-wide when we come to processes the true experimental test in all classification. Crystallizable substances crystallize that is all.
The substance we call protoplasm is an albuminoid, like the white of an egg, and it forms the flesh of both plants and animals. A living plant can assimilate its own protoplasm, an animal must take it ready-made from plants. But a plant can assimilate its food and grow only under the mysterious influence we call life.
