The solute is the substance being dissolved. The solvent is the substance that does the dissolving. There is usually more solvent than solute involved.

What effect would non-permeating solutes have on osmosis and hemolysis?
It depends on where the non-permeating solutes were and what type of solution the cell is in. if non-permeating solutes were in the cell and their number was greater than the total number of solutes outside the cell, water would come into the cell and it would lyse. If there were a greater number of solutes on the outside of the cell, water would draw out of the cell and the cell would shrink. However, with time the solutes on the outside of the cell would diffuse into the cell and that could draw water with them.
What is the difference between osmoregulation and osmosis?
In biology, osmoregulation is important to organisms to keep a constant, optimal osmotic pressure within the body or cell. It is the way by which an organism maintains suitable concentration of solutes and amount of water in the body fluids.An example employed by organisms is excretion (such as getting rid of metabolic wastes and other substances toxic to the body when they are in large amounts).However, Osmosis is the dispersion of solutes through a selectively permeable membrane (name changed from semi permeable) from an area of high concentration to low concentration.
How does the principle like dissolves like explain the differing solubilities of solutes in various solvents?
Generally polar solutes are dissolved in polar solvents and nonpolar solutes are dissolved in nonpolar solvents.
How does the principle of like dissolves like explain the differing solubilities of solutes in various solvents?

How does the principle of like dissolves like explain the differing solubility's of solutes in various solvents?
Generally polar solutes are dissolved in polar solvents and vive versa. The cause is the attraction between the hydrogen ion or oxygen ion from water to ions of the compond to be dissolved.
What can solvents be used for?
Solvents are used to dissolve solutes.
What kinds of substanances dissolve in water?
solutes, solvents are the substances that do the dissolving solutes, solvents are the substances that do the dissolving
What are the solutes in air and what are the solvents?
Solutes are substances dissolved in a solvent.
If a solute does not dissolve in a solvent?
Polar solutes are soluble in polar solvents. Non-polar solutes are soluble in non-polar solvents. Polar solutes are miscible in non-polar solvents and vice verse.
How many solvents can a solution have?
a solution can have 3 solutes
