Is blood a suspension or solution?
Blood is considered a suspension because it is a heterogeneous mixture of solid particles, non dissolved red and white blood cells, platelets, and proteins of various sizes and shapes, suspended in a solution. It contains a solution, but is not a solution where everything would be dissolved, i.e. homogeneous.
Is blood a mixure?
Yes, blood is a mixture (Colloid). Blood contains plasmas, RBC (Red Blood Cells), WBC (White Blood Cells) and Platelets.
What are the Solid and liquid part of the blood?
There are no "solids" because they're all in solution; the closest you might come is the membranes of the various blood cells, and/or the (temporarily) unconnected fat molecules that are normally fastened to various transport proteins.
What kind of solution is blood?
Blood is both a solution and a suspension; it consists of blood plasma, red and white blood cells, and platelets. Blood plasma is a watery solution of sugars, salts, some gasses, and various hormones and other substances that are transported via the blood. Blood cells and platelets are suspended in this fluid. Technically, it would be more accurate to use 'blood plasma' as an example of a solution.
What does it mean when cells are bathed in aqueous environment?
Aqueous means water. Environment means surroundings. So aqueous environment simply means 'watery surroundings'. Cells are surrounded by a watery solution called tissue fluid or interstitial fluid. This forms from the blood and contains dissolved food and oxygen needed by the cells and wastes (eg carbon dioxide) produced by the cells.
How blood can be solid-liquid solution?
Blood contains liquid, like water, but it also contains cells, which contains proteins, which are solid.
A solution that contains a lower concentration of salt than living red blood cells would be?
It's a hypotonic solution. ex; blood, tears.
What contains blood?
BLOOD-blood contains cells

What is the extra cellular matrix in blood called?
No. Blood contains a fluid extracelluar matrix called plasma, but blood cells do not because they are individual cells. Only tissues can have a matrix.
Which kind of white blood cell is found in pus?
Pus is an exudate which contains dead and dying neutrophils (a type of white blood cells).
Which blood cells contains no hemoglobin?
White blood cells
What three things blood contains?
Blood contains four things: white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets and plasma.
What is the pigment in red blood cells called and what element does it contain?
Heamoglobin contains iron
5 percent glucose solution is isotonic for red blood cell if red blood cell are kept in 2 percent glucose solution what will happen to the cells. what such a solution called?
2% glucose solution is considered as a hypotonic solution for that the solution will enter the semi-permeable membrane of the red blood cells causing the cells to explode or burst. Why? It's because RBCs have a higher concentration inside it than that of the 2% glucose solution so the solution will enter the cells.
Why your blood red in colour even though it contains white blood cells?
Because it also contains red blood cells
Normal saline is 0.9 percent what would happen to the red blood cells of a patient who was teated with 0 percent saline what about 10 percent saline?
Normal Saline 0.9% is called an isotonic solution. A 0.0% saline solution is called a hypotonic solution. A solution of this concentration would cause water to diffuse into the red blood cells and cause them to burst open. A 10% saline solution is called a hypertonic solution. A solution of this concentration would cause water to diffuse out of the red blood cells, making them shrivel up and shrink.
