Question 9 • Chemistry

Which best explains why blood is considered to be a suspension?

Answer
A
It has nutrients that cannot be dissolved.
B
It contains particles that mix on a molecular level.
C
It has nutrients that are dissolved in its liquid portion.
D
It contains particles that can settle out.

Explanation

A suspension contains particles dispersed in a fluid that can settle out over time. Blood has cells and other particles suspended in its liquid portion, so these can separate from the fluid when blood is left standing or spun in a centrifuge. Dissolved nutrients alone, as described in choice C, would not make blood a suspension.
