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."
Definition of osmosis?
The movement of water through a semipermeable membrane in order to equalize the osmotic concentration of a solute.Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of high water concentration (low solute) to an area of low water concentration (high solute).
Is pure water classified as a solution?
No, it is a solute.
When a solid dissolves in water is it called a solute?
yes, this is true-when a solid dissolves in water, it is called a solute. hope this helped :-)
When a molecular solid mixes with water the solute breaks down into individual molecules true or false?
true
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.
What does the rule salt sucks mean?
Salt is a solute, when it is concentrated inside or outside the cell, it will draw the water in its direction. This is also why you get thirsty after eating something salty.
If sugar is dissolved in water which component will be the solute and which will be the solvent?
Water is the solvent, and sugar is the solute.
Is water the solute in saltwater?
Water is the solvent.Salt is the solute.
Which is true about the dissolving process in water?
Water is a polar solvent and can dissolve a polar solute; this is not an absolute rule but it is very close to truth.
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.
Is water the solute in a salt water solution?
No, salt is the solute and water is the solvent
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.
