Question

Crystalloid and colloid differ with respect to:

• A. Tyndall effect
• B. particle size
• C. diffusion through animal or vegetable membrane
• D. number of particles per unit volume of solution

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The correct options are
A Tyndall effect
B particle size
C diffusion through animal or vegetable membrane

Crystalloids are aqueous sollutions of salts and minerals that can be crystallized where as colloids can't be crystallized .

Tyndall effect is shown by colloids but not by crystalloids.

Colloids are bigger in size compared to crystalloids

Colloids are larger and diffuse slower than crystalloids and rate of diffusion is different for both.

Number of particles per unit volume is independent of the nature of particle and could be same.
