Question
blood is an example of a
colloid,
suspension,
solution,
solute,
solvent.
Blood contains cells and proteins dispersed in a liquid medium. In a colloid, particles are dispersed throughout a medium and do not settle out easily. Blood fits this description as the cells and proteins remain dispersed. Suspensions have larger particles that settle out over time. Solutions have very small solute particles uniformly dissolved in a solvent. A solute is a substance dissolved in a solvent, and a solvent is the substance in which the solute dissolves. Blood is not a simple solute - solvent relationship like a solution, nor is it just a solute or solvent.
