BVP MedicalBVP Medical 2013

Solution:

Sol gel theory was first put forth by human in 1917. It is supported by Pantin and Mast (1923-1926). According to this theory, the pseudopodia are formed by change of cytoplasm from gel to sol and vice-versa. Goldacre and Lorch explain the solation of cytoplasm on the basis of folding and unfolding of protein molecules (myocin and actin).
