Yes, but only at certain times. It can both "suck water", but it can also "spew water". It's all osmosis and diffusion.

What is the process of water moving from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration?
Osmosis is the process of water moving from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.
What is the process of water moving from an area of low concentration to an area high of high solute concentration?
Osmosis is the process of water moving from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.
The contrast of solute and solvent?
Solute is the substance dissolved in a solvent.For example, for a sodium chloride (cooking salt) solution the water is the solvent and the salt the solute.
What is the osmosis definition?
"Osmosis is the diffusion of a solvent (frequently water) through a semi-permeable membrane, from a solution of low solute concentration (high water potential) to a solution with high solute concentration (low water potential), up a solute concentration gradient."
If you have a cell with water concentration of 90 percent and solute concentration of 10 percent and you place it into a solution that is 80 percent water concentration and 20 percent solute concentra?

Is salt a solute in seawater true or false and why?
True. Salt is a solute in seawater because it is dissolved in the water to form a solution. Seawater is a mixture of salt (solute) and water (solvent).
When a solid dissolves in water is it called a solute?
No, when a solid dissolves in water, the solid is typically referred to as the solute. The water in this case is the solvent, while the resulting mixture is called a solution.
Why will the blood cell shrivel and possibly die inside a hypertonic salt solution?
There was more salt/solute outside of the cell, and the solute "sucks" away the water from the cell;making it shrink and possibly collapse in itself.
Does the temperature drop lover than 0 C for water to freeze when a solute is dissolved in the water?
Yes, is true.
If sugar is dissolved in water which component will be the solute and which will be the solvent?
Sugar will be the solute, and water will be the solvent. The solute is the substance being dissolved (sugar), while the solvent is the substance in which the solute dissolves (water).
Is pure water classified as a solution?
Yes, pure water can be classified as a solution because it is a homogeneous mixture of water molecules.
Is water the solute in saltwater?
Water is the solvent.Salt is the solute.
Which is true about sugar dissolving in water Sugar is the solvent and water is the solute. Both sugar and water are solvents. Sugar is the solute and water is the solvent. Both sugar and water are so?
One is going to be the solvent and one will be the solute, they can't be both at the same time. You usually put sugar into something such as water or tea or soda. That makes the sugar the solute (goes into) and the other, like water, the is the solvent. A good way to remember this is that the solvent is the part of a solution present in the largest amount.
Is water the solute in a salt water solution?
No, water is the solvent in a saltwater solution. The solute is the salt that is dissolved in the water.
In a solution of sugar and water which is the solvent and which is the solute?
In a solution of sugar and water, water is the solvent and sugar is the solute. The solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute, while the solute is the substance that is being dissolved.
Is soap a solute or solvent?
Solvent
When sugar is dissolved in water is it solute or solvent?
The sugar is the solute and the water is the solvent. Whatever is dissolved is the solute, and whatever the solute is dissolved in is the solvent. The solvent dissolves the solute.
