Answer: It appears compartmentalized under the microscope.

Step-by-step explanation:

All living organisms are made up of cells. And cells grow by undergoing cell division.

Also, when viewed under the microscope, cells appear as 'rooms' or 'compartments'

Thus, the growing substance is living and contains cells
