Homogeneous means that it's a single substance, such as water. Heterogeneous means that it's a mixture such as orange juice (water, sugar, orange juice, etc).
You can't see through it either. It's not uniformly distributed. I think I mean dissolved, not uniformly distributed. IDK I haven't taken that type of chemistry in awhile.
but like why dont you google
you think anyone on basil is gonna be like
"Yo homie, milk is a colloid. A Colloid is a hetero...."
wait...
Milk is a colloid. A colloid is a heterogeneous mixture in which the particles do not settle out, like oil settles from water. Another example of a colloid is blood. Blood is made up of plasma, cells, and other substances, although it appears as one solution. Milk is also made up of separate substances. 'Homogenized' milk is milk in which fat globules have been broken down into very fine particles. It's not homogeneous, but steps have been taken to make it seem less heterogenous. -Taken from yahoo answers
