Question

Colloidal particles diffuse more rapidly than crystalloid particles in solution.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Crystalloids : They diffuse rapidly in solution and can rapidly pass through animal or vegetable membranes.

For e.g. urea, sugar, salts and other crystalline substances.

Colloids : They diffuse very slowly in solution and can not pass through animal or vegetable membranes.

For e.g. starch, gelatin, silicic acid, proteins etc.

This class of substances generally exist in amorphous or gelatinous condition and hence, the name colloid means "glue form".
