What is "containing"

Usage examples of "containing".

A leaf, with the cells of the tentacles containing only homogeneous fluid, was waved about for 1 m.

But none of the glands secreted, excepting those which actually touched the meat or the secretion containing dissolved animal matter.

The pedicels of the hairs are divided by transverse partitions, and the secreting glands are formed of many cells, containing greenish matter with little globules of some substance.

They consist of an outer layer of small polygonal cells, containing purple granular matter or fluid, and with the walls thicker than those of the pedicels.

In five other bladders, selected from containing remains, but not appearing very full, there were one, two, four, two, and five crustaceans.

On the other hand, in bladders containing either one large or several small decayed animals, the processes presented a widely different appearance.

On the other hand, it must be stated that in three bladders containing dead crustaceans, the processes were likewise empty.

My son examined the quadrifid processes in a bladder containing the remains of two crustaceans, and found some of them full of spherical or irregularly shaped masses of matter, which were observed to move and to coalesce.

The purpose of the following experiments was to determine the digestive activity of liquids containing pepsin, when acidulated with certain volatile acids belonging to the acetic series, in comparison with liquids acidulated with hydrochloric acid, in proportion similar to that in which it exists in gastric juice.

But there are many other substances, some of them containing nitrogen, which are not in the least acted on by the secretion, and do not induce inflection for a longer time than do inorganic and insoluble objects.

Pinguicula vulgaris--Structure of leaves--Number of insects and other objects caught--Movement of the margins of the leaves--Uses of this movement--Secretion, digestion, and absorption--Action of the secretion on various animal and vegetable substances--The effects of substances not containing soluble nitrogenous matter on the glands--Pinguicula grandiflora--Pinguicula lusitanica, catches insects--Movement of the leaves, secretion and digestion.

Both surfaces of the leaf, the pedicels of the tentacles, especially the lower sides of the outer ones, and the petioles, are studded with minute papillae (hairs or trichomes), having a conical basis, and bearing on their summits two, and occasionally three or even four, rounded cells, containing much protoplasm.

From these experiments we learn that particles not containing soluble matter, when placed on glands, often cause the tentacles to begin bending in the course of from one to five minutes.

If tentacles with cells containing only very pale pink fluid, and apparently but little protoplasm, are placed in a few drops of a weak solution of one part of the carbonate to 4375 of water (1 gr.

WHEN, in 1860, I first observed Drosera, and was led to believe that the leaves absorbed nutritious matter from the insects which they captured, it seemed to me a good plan to make some preliminary trials with a few common fluids, containing and not containing nitrogenous matter.
