Cytoplasm is a transluscent, viscous fluid It has many inorganic molecules like water, salts and various organic compounds like proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. There are also nucleoproteins, nucleic acids and several enzymes in it. The protein particles, carbohydrates and salts are hydrophilic while fat globules are hydrophobic.The viscosity of cytoplasm changes under the influence of tmperature. The suspended particles display Tyndall Effect.Cytoplasm also shows resistance to flow freely which keeps the particles/suspensions floating and not settling down due to gravitational pull.All these properties (common to colloids) prove the colloidal nature of the cytoplasm beyond doubt.

∙ 12y agoFloating within the cytosol are organelles, vesicles, and cytoskeletal structures, which are not considered part of the cytosol but are included in the cytoplasm. The cytosol is usually defined as the fluid portion of the cytoplasm, as defined by lysing the cell and separating out insoluble materials by centrifugation.
Cytosol is the jelly-like substance of the cytoplasm.
Cytoplasm being a colloid helps, because it makes the structure enough rigid yet enough smooth to help smooth functioning of the cell.

Why colloidal gold turns to red?
Colloidal gold turns to red due to the red blood cells of the gold particles.
What is found both plant and animal cells like jelly?
it's similar
Is Cytoplasm found in Unicellular?
Yes. cytoplasm is found in unicellular.
What happens when you shine a light through a fog what is this called and why does it happen?
The fog is called a colloidal solution. When light is shined through this colloidal solution, the light scatters in all direction because of the substance contained in this solution type.
How do you compare the endoplasm to the ectoplasm?
Ectoplasm is a thin, watery cytoplasm near the plasma membrane of some cells and Endoplasm is a dense cytoplasm found in the interior of many cells
What is colloidal system role in the cell cytoplasm?
k;
Why is cytoblasm colloidal system?
Because cytoplasm has the proprities of colloidal systems . It consists of solute and solvent. The particles of the solute ranges from 1 to100 nanometer and it is a stable system as solid in liquid called sol.It is a suspensoid
Why is it important to remove electrolytes in colloidal system?
Generally electrolytes' ions bind to the surface and damage the double electrostatic layer of colloidal particles. This greatly reduces stability of a colloidal system, since electrostatic repulsion is the main force keeping those colloidal particles apart.

What are the three types of colloidal system?
The 3 types of colloidal system are: 1. Lyophilic colloids 2. Lyophobic colloids 3. Association colloids
Do you have colloidal Silver?
colloidal silver Do you have Colloidal Silver
Does human respiratory system have cytoplasm?
Cytoplasm is the fluid inside a cell, so since the respiratory system is made of cells, the cytoplasm is inside of the respiratory systems cells.
Components of a colloidal system?
it is the sun that kisses the moon ! then make love at night ..
What is the different between cytoplasm and axoplasm in nervous system?
The axoplasm is the cytoplasm of an axon.
What is cytoplasm compare to in the body system?
circulatory system
What organelle functions as a communication system for the cytoplasm?
The Endoplasmic Reticulum is an important organelle of the cell. The ER functions as the communication system for the cytoplasm.
What is difference between sol and gel and emulsion?
Sol state is a liquid state .The colloidal particles repel each other. Gel state is more jellylike. The colloidal particles attract each other. emulsion are colloidal system in which both dispersed phase and dispersed medium are in liquid state .
