I already know that human blood is a heterogeneous mixture but is it classified into a suspension, colloid,or suspension of colloids maybe? i've surfed the internet and found that most of the answers assure that blood is a suspension but i know that a suspension is a mixture that appears uniform while being stirred but seperates into different phases when agitation ceases. i've got this definition from my chemistry book: Holt Chemistry Visualizing Matter. but isnt blood seperated into its different phases by centrifuging which ihas everything to do with stirring and shaking but nothin with ceasing?! s if it is a colloid then why? i have a mini research concerning this subject and i am very confused now. please try to notify me with a reasonable answer with which i could be satisfied and convinced. please respond as soon as u can.
