Hypertonic and Hypotonic Solutions
The colloidal behavior of protoplasm follows a queer pattern. One surprising and rather striking fact is that agents which might presumably be supposed to act in opposite fashion often enough have the same sort of an effect on protoplasm. So for example,

The Viscosity of Protoplasm
Introduction From the very beginning of the study of protoplasm, biologists and cell physiologists have been concerned with the attempt to understand as much as possible about its physical state. But it is doubtful if in any other field of biology there has been more erroneous information gathered and perpetuated. This has in part been due to a lack of understanding of basic physical facts, in part also to the publication of numerous careless and untrustworthy observations. Microdissectionists prodded the cell with their microneedles, and they made many definite statements both concerning the relative and also the absolute viscosity of the protoplasm they attacked. These
