A colloid and a suspension.

Explanation:

Blood is composed of many different substances ( i.e . erythrocytes, lymphocytes, platelets, etc.) Erythrocytes and platelets are large enough to form sedimentation and therefore enabling us to categorize blood as a suspension .

However, when looking at blood from a solution perspective, we can say that it is composed of sugars, salts, urea, and proteins. Blood is, therefore, also a colloid of proteins.
