Homogeneous

''Homogeneous'' is an adjective that has several meanings. *See homogeneous (mathematics) for a number of mathematical usages ''Homogeneity'' has a precise meaning in physics. In biology ''homogeneous'' has a meaning similar to its meaning in mathematics. Generally it means "the same" or "of the same quality or general property", such as a homogeneous sample, homogeneous population, etc. Homogenous (without the second ''e'') has a similar meaning of being the same throughout, and is perhaps more common in everyday speech. For example ''homogenization milk'' is milk which has been processed so that the cream is mixed throughout the milk, rather than being left to settle at the top. In physical chemistry, ''homogeneous'' describes a single-phase system as opposed to heterogeneous where more than one thermodynamics distinct phases co-exist. Example: a sugar cube in a glass of water is bi-phasic and heterogeneous, sugar dissolved in water is a homogeneous system.
