Janet Quentin Plowe was a biologist credited for helping to discover the cell membrane.
Biography
In 1931 she demonstrated that the cell membrane is physical, instead of an interface between two different liquids. Janet Plowe was born in 1905 in California.
Plowe, a student of William Seifriz, was among the pioneers of micro-injection into plant cells.
She discovered the elasticity and composition of several large organelles, and the cell membrane itself.
