Solutions are homogenous mixtures of components that may be gases, liquids, or solids. One example is the air we breathe, which is a mixture of gases. Liquids are called solvents and substances present in smaller amounts are called solutes. Solutions are described in terms of their concentrations. There are many ways to determine the concentrations of solutions. One way is through percent of the solute in the solution. Another way is to express a solution's molarity, or moles per liter. To use this method you must know what the molecular weight of the solution is.
Colloids, also called mullions are heterogenous. Solute particles in colloids are larger than the particles in solutions, but they do not settle out from each other. They are mixtures that often appear translucent. Colloids have the ability to undergo sol-gel transformations. This is when they change from a fluid state to a more solid (gel) state. An example of a non-living colloid is Jell-O, or any gelatin product. It changes from a sol to a gel when refridgerated.
Suspensions are heterogenous mixtures with large visible solutes that settle out unlike solutions and colloids. An example of a suspension is sand in water. Unless you were to shake it the sand would remain suspended in the water. Suspensions, along with solutions and colloids, are found in both living and non living materials. Living material is the most complex mixture because it contains all three of the mixtures interacting with each other.
