Answer

Suspensions are mixtures in which the particles that are floating around are big enough to sink to the bottom such as blood cells. Solutions are mixtures in which the particles have actually dissolved, such as water or saline solution. Colloids have small particles that float around and never settle, such as albumin in blood plasma.
