Explanation:

An emulsion is a type of colloid in which one liquid is dispersed in another immiscible liquid in the form of small droplets.

Hair cream is an example of an emulsion where oil droplets are dispersed in water. Paint can also be classified as an emulsion or a suspension depending on the type of paint.

Cheese, on the other hand, is a type of colloid where solid particles are dispersed in a liquid. Smoke is an aerosol, which is a type of colloid where solid or liquid particles are suspended in a gas.
