How water is known as universal solvent eventhough it doesnt dissolve all substances?
Water is a very good and known solvent but it is not an universal solvent. An universal solvent doesn't exist and is absolutely impossible to obtain an universal solvent.
What is the universal solvent that moves in and out of cell by the process of osmosis?
I do think that the only universal solvent is WATER
Importance of knowing the concentration of solute and solvent in the cell?
By knowing the concentrations of solute and solvent on the inside and outside of a cell, the direction of osmosis and the result of the cell can be predicted. Solutions on the outside of a cell can be described based on how they affect the cell.
Why do water known as universal solvent?
Water is called the universal solvent because most nearly all substances can be dissolved by water.
Most abundant compound in protoplasm that serves as the solvent in all cell chemistry?
Water

Is water known as the universal solvent?
Water dissolves thousands of compounds (organic and inorganic) no one other solvent dissolves such huge no of compounds so it is known as universal solvent.

Is water known as a universal covalent?
No, water is known as a universal solvent.
How can a cell speed up its intake of glucose from the environment?
A cell speed up its intake of glucose from the environment by having more protein carriers. This will facilitate diffusion of the glucose into the cell.
Why do solvent particles flow into the cell when the initial volume is below 50 percent?
I believe it is all to do with diffusion.The solvent particles will move from an area of high concentration to the area of low concentration (the cell).
What will happen when a cell is placed in a medium with solvent-solute content equal to that of the cell?
It will then be in an isotonic/isosmotic environment, and nothing will happen to the cell.
Importance of water to plants?
It acts as a solvent and reactant in cell metabolism.
What compound moves through cell membranes by osmosis?
The solvent, water.
Which is considered a universal solvent?
The most versatile and broadly useful solvent known to man is water. It is sometimes called a universal solvent, as a form of poetic exaggeration.
