Milk is a colloidal system in which: A. Water is dispersed in fat B. Fat is dispersed in water C. Fat and water are dispersed in each other D. Fat is dissolved

Water is dispersed in fat
Fat is dispersed in water
Fat and water are dispersed in each other
Fat is dissolved

The correct answer is: B. Fat is dispersed in water.

Milk is a colloidal system in which fat globules are dispersed in water. The fat globules are

much larger than the molecules of water, and they do not dissolve in water. Instead, they are suspended in the water, and they can be separated from the water by creaming or churning.

Option A is incorrect because water is the continuous phase in milk, and fat is the dispersed phase.

Option C is incorrect because fat and water are not evenly dispersed in milk. The fat globules are much larger than the molecules of water, and they do not mix evenly.

Option D is incorrect because fat is not dissolved in milk. The fat globules are suspended in the water, and they can be separated from the water by creaming or churning.
