From page 145...
... cytoplasm: cell substance between the cell membrane and the nucleus, containing the cytosol, organelles, cytoskeleton, and various particles. derivatized: a chemical substance that is so related structurally to another substance as to be theoretically inferred even when it is not obtainable in practice.

From page 146...
... spinodal decomposition: an unmixing process in which crystals with bulk composition in the central region of the phase diagram separate when cooled. thienyl: either of two univalent isomeric radicals derived from thiophene by removal of a hydrogen atom from either the alpha or 2-position or the beta or 3-position.
