Protoplasm becomes highly elastic, glutinous and fibrous, exhibits syneresis and changes from yellow to orange at the anode of an electric circuit. At the cathode, all properties are the opposite of those at the anode; the protoplasm becomes soft, lacks elastic, glutinous and fibrous qualities, shows no syneresis and becomes green in color. The change from the normal, which is intermediate, is due to the acid condition set up at the anode and the alkaline condition set up at the cathode. The anomalous (non‐Newtonian) behavior of protoplasm, as well as its other characteristic jelly properties (imbibition, syneresis, coagulation, thixotropy, etc.) are attributed to the structural continuity which is responsible for the elastic qualities.
