What is "granules"

Usage examples of "granules".

I repeated the experiment with another plant of the same species, but before I could get the specimen into focus under the microscope, clouds of granules and quadrangular masses of reddish and brown matter were formed, and had run far up all the roots.

These terminal cells or glands contain granules and often globules of granular matter.

After the granules of protoplasm have been thus attracted, the layer of flowing protoplasm can no longer be distinguished, though a current of limpid fluid still flows round the walls.

And this change in the glands, whether excited directly, or indirectly by a stimulus received from other glands, is transmitted from cell to cell, causing granules of protoplasm either to be actually generated in the previously limpid fluid or to coalesce and thus to become visible.

I may here add that thin slices of the stem of the Euphorbia were placed in the same solution, and the cells which were green instantly became cloudy, whilst others which were before colourless were clouded with brown, owing to the formation of numerous granules of this tint.

Many of the points on the infolded rims also had their lining of protoplasm similarly shrunk, and contained spherical granules of hyaline matter.

Some of the quadrifids included a few spherical granules, but several were transparent and empty, and their positions were marked.

The cells of the glands contain bright pink fluid, charged with granules or with globular masses of pinkish pulpy matter.

The first change which could be observed is a cloudy appearance in the fluid, due to the formation of very fine granules, which afterwards aggregate into larger masses.

In the third bladder, the quadrifids included distinctly visible granules, and the primordial utricle was a little shrunk after only 8 hrs.

If, however, a gland contains merely a few coarse granules, this does not prevent a solution from acting.

Instead, taking no chances with its newfound freedom, it immediately burrowed into the sand, throwing up a spray of granules in its wake.

Now he saw that where his scrabbling feet had kicked away the adhering granules and accumulated cupric silicates, something black and shiny lay underneath.

Tenukac LLBYYLL kicked free of the sterile, lightly scented, buff-toned granules on which he had been resting.

He carefully tapped out onto his palm two tiny granules that glittered like prisms.
