A cartoon page about 'protoplasm', the stuff of life. There is a 4x5 grid of squares, with a continuous greyish picture filling the squares, and the gaps in between are white. There are silhouetted leaves, bacteria and protists. There is an amoeba travelling between and around the boxes in an arc from the top left, to right, then diagonally down to the bottom left - in each instance it is labelled (a-h). The 4 text boxes read: By the 19th century, scientists established cells as a basic unit... of which all living things were composed... and by which all living things arose. But not all scientists had the same idea of what counted as 'life'.
Protoplasm - is it the stuff of life?
