Study Notes

Milk

Milk is the only food source for newborns for a long period until they are weaned.

Placenta

Fetus receives nutrition from the placenta before birth.

Bound Water

A description of the state of division of matter that is intermediate between a true solution and a solid state.

True Solutions

When substances are mixed with water or other liquids, true solutions are formed.
True solutions can be further divided into ionic and non-ionic solutions.
Ionic solutions are formed when the substance breaks down into ions in water, such as sodium chloride (NaCl) which forms Na+ and Cl- ions in water.

Emulsion

A suspension of droplets of one liquid in another.
Emulsions exhibit the Tyndall effect, which is the scattering of light by small suspended particles in a medium.
