Bioplasms

/ˈbaɪoʊˌplæzəmz/ noun

Definition

Plural of bioplasm; multiple instances or types of living protoplasm or vital living substance.

Etymology

Simple plural of 'bioplasm,' formed by adding '-s.' Multiple bioplasms could theoretically refer to distinct living substances in different organisms or cellular contexts.

Kelly Says

The plural 'bioplasms' is rarely used because modern science realized that all living protoplasm fundamentally works the same way—it's made of the same proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids whether it's in a bacterium or a whale.
