Yes, but only at certain times. It can both "suck water", but it can also "spew water". It's all osmosis and diffusion.
A solute is the substance that is dissolved in a solution, while a solvent is the substance that does the dissolving. The solute is typically present in a smaller quantity compared to the solvent. For example, in a saltwater solution, salt is the solute and water is the solvent.
This process, known as osmosis, involves water moving across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. This movement occurs in order to balance the concentration of solutes on both sides of the membrane, resulting in the flow of water towards the more concentrated solution.
Osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules, usually water, across a semi-permeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration, in order to equalize the solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane. This process helps maintain the balance of solutes and water in cells and is vital for processes like nutrient absorption in plants and kidney function in animals.
Osmosis is the process of water moving from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.
In this scenario, the solute would be the salt, as it is the substance being dissolved in the water. The solvent is the water, which is doing the dissolving of the salt particles.
Yes, salt dissolves in seawater, so it is a solute.
yes, this is true-when a solid dissolves in water, it is called a solute. hope this helped :-)
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.
Yes, is true.
Water is the solvent, and sugar is the solute.
Yes, pure water can be classified as a solution because it is a homogeneous mixture of water molecules.
Water is the solvent.Salt is the solute.
Yes, the movement of water across the plasma membrane, known as osmosis, depends on the relative concentration of solutes. Water will move from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration in an attempt to balance the solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane.
No, salt is the solute and water is the solvent
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.
Water is the solvent and chalk is the solute.
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.
