Note 345

Typical descriptions of the content of the organismic cell mention :  Long filiform molecules (proteins and nucleic acids), probably forming a network, to whose polar groups become bonded ions, other proteins, fats, lipoids, carbohydrates, and also water. The organismic form-stabilizer was compared with netted macromolecules which are very capable of swelling, and make possible, while maintaining form, a go-through transport of water, nutrients, and building materials.

Many organismic molecular considerations are largely referring to building materials in plant and animal body, possible also backup materials, for example the transformation of the well-soluble easily transportable monomerous form into the insoluble macro-molecular depot form.
