Solution

Lymph is a colorless fluid. The composition of tissue fluid and lymph is the same as that of blood plasma but the tissue fluid and lymph have lower proteins content. As compared to the tissue fluid, the lymph contains a very small amount of nutrients and oxygen but contains abundant carbon dioxide and other metabolic wastes.
