If a cell contains many dissolved solutes, this would mean that the cell has a HIGH concentration gradient. If this cell was placed in pure (distilled) water, the cell would most likely fill up, and in some cases, "explode".
This is because the ratio of water entering, to water exiting the cell is much higher than a cell containing minimal dissolved solutes.
If this cell was a plant cell, the cell wall around it would contain the water, and ensure the cell itself does not explode because of it's shape. However if the example was an animal cell (this has no cell wall), the cell would most likely explode...

Is the concentration change after you add water to solution?
Adding more solute to a solution will increase its concentration. Adding more solvent will only dilute it. Think of salt water. The salt is the solute, and water is the solvent. Add salt and it becomes a more concentrated solution. Add more water, and it is more dilute. Simple and easy once you think it through.
If you have 670.0 grams of water and wish to make a 2.13 m solution of KBr how many grams of the solute would you have to add to the water that you have?
169.8 grams KBr
Why add Solute to solvent instead of solvent to solvent?
Because when a solute and a solvent are combined, it creates a solution. When two solvents are combined, it just makes a stronger solvent.Further answerIt also depends on what you are trying to do. Alcohol is a solvent and so is water but if you wanted to have diluite alcohol you'd have to add water to alcohol, or vice versa.
What is the solvent and solute of coffee?
The solvent is water; the solute is ground roasted coffee beans (in addition to sugar, salt, cream and whatever else you prefer to add)!
How can a solution be made more concentrated?
Increase the amount of solvent.
What happens if you continue to add solute to saturated solution?
All that would happen is the solute would not absorb into the solution and it would spill off eventually.
When is water a solute?
We normally think of a solute as a solid that is added to a solvent (e.g., adding table salt to water), but the solute could just as easily exist in another phase. For example, if we add a small amount of ethanol to water, then the ethanol is the solute and the water is the solvent. If we add a smaller amount of water to a larger amount of ethanol, then the water could be the solute!
What would happen when the water clock's water evaporated?
Add again water.
What is solute in detail?
The word solute simply means, that which is dissolved. So, if you add a teaspoon of sugar to your coffee, and it dissolves (which is normally what will happen, since sugar is very soluble in hot water) the sugar becomes a solute. Water, which dissolves the sugar, is called a solvent. Solutes dissolve in solvents. The resulting mixture of solute and solvent is called a solution.
What is the solute and solvent of soda if you add salt?
When you mix soda and salt the solute and the solvent would be a variety of things. The best answer i could tell you is that the solute would be the carbonated water and the solvent would be the salt. Or it is the other way around.

What is the solvent and solute in the orange juice?
solvent;water solute:pineapple and some dissolved substance
If you have 670.0 grams of water and wish to make a 2.13 m solution of KBr how many grams of the solute would you have to add to the water that you have?
169.8 grams KBr
If more solvent is added to a solution?
Adding solvent will make a solution more diluted. Think of it this way. Take water (solvent) and dissolve salt into it (solute). In order to dilute or increase the ratio of solvent to solute, you would add more water.

How are solute solvent related?
I shall explain it to you with the aid of an example. If we take some sugar and add it to water, then the solute is sugar and the solvent is water.The solute is always the substance that is dissolved, and the solvent is the liquid in which the solute dissolves.
What happens when you add solute to supersaturated solution?
The solute can re-form as a solid.
