The above statement is false.
Homogeneous and heterogeneous are two categories in which mixtures are divided. Suspension and colloids are examples of heterogeneous mixtures. The size of the particles of colloids is less than 1000nm, so they cannot pass through filter paper and ultrafilter paper.
The correct statement would be that the particles of colloidal particles cannot pass through filter paper.
