Like a dandelion or a milkweed plant, the seeds of the kapok plant are dispersed by the wind. The fluffy masses of seed used to be used to stuff life jackets.

Which does not let light pass through solutionmixturecolloidor suspension?
colloid is one of the three primary types of mixtures, with the other two being a solution and suspension. A colloid is a solution that has particles ranging between 1 and 1000 nanometers in diameter, yet are still able to remain evenly distributed throughout the solution. These are also known as colloidal dispersions because the substances remain dispersed and do not settle to the bottom of the container. In colloids, one substance is evenly dispersed in another. The substance being dispersed is referred to as being in the dispersed phase, while the substance in which it is dispersed is in the continuous phase.Properties of ColloidsIn order to be classified as a colloid, the substance in the dispersed phase must be larger than the size of a molecule but smaller than what can be seen with the naked eye. This can be more precisely quantified as one or more of the substance's dimensions must be between 1 and 1000 nanometers. If the dimensions are smaller than this the substance is considered a solution and if they are larger than the substance is a suspension. A common method of classifying colloids is based on the phase of the dispersed substance and what phase it is dispersed in. The types of colloids includes sol, emulsion, foam, and aerosol.Sol is a colloidal suspension with solid particles in a liquid.Emulsion is between two liquids.Foam is formed when many gas particles are trapped in a liquid or solid.Aerosol contains small particles of liquid or solid dispersed in a gas.When the dispersion medium is water, the colloidal system is often referred to as a hydrocolloid. The particles in the dispersed phase can take place in different phases depending on how much water is available. For example, Jello powder mixed in with water creates a hydrocolloid. A common use for hydrocolloids is in the creation of medical dressings.
