the diffrent is when an ionic compound dissolves in water it breaks up into ions while a molecular compound breaks up into molecules.
Molecular solutes dissolve as whole molecules and do not dissociate into ions, while ionic solutes dissociate into ions when dissolved in solution. Molecular solutes do not conduct electricity in solution, whereas ionic solutes can conduct electricity due to the presence of free ions.
An aqueous solution specifically refers to a solution where water is the solvent. A solution in general is a homogeneous mixture where one or more substances (solutes) are dissolved in another substance (solvent), which could be a liquid, gas, or solid.
Penetrating solutes can cross cell membranes easily due to their ability to dissolve in lipids, while non-penetrating solutes cannot cross cell membranes easily because they do not dissolve in lipids.
Yes, osmosis can occur in an isotonic solution. In an isotonic solution, the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell is the same, so there is no net movement of water across the cell membrane. This differs from osmosis in other types of solutions, such as hypertonic or hypotonic solutions, where there is a concentration gradient that causes water to move into or out of the cell to reach equilibrium.
Nothing more can be added to a saturated solution - the liquid is literally 'full up' with the solute being dissolved, so if you carry on adding the solute, it will not dissolve and the solution will not become any more concentrated. A concentrated solution has a very large amount of the solute in it (there is more solute than solvent), but it has not yet reached the point where no more solute can be dissolved. If you keep adding to it, the solute will dissolve.

Water is a solvent. Fruit, sugar, and all the other particles are solutes. The two make a homogenous mixture which is a solution!

A solute is not a mixture. A solute is the substance that is dissolved in a solvent to make a solution.
The 0.5M solution has a lower concentration of NaCl compared to the 2.0M solution. This means the 2.0M solution has more NaCl dissolved in the same volume of water. Consequently, the 2.0M solution will be more concentrated and have a higher osmolarity compared to the 0.5M solution.
If we take a example of cell then if the solution outside the cell containing less solutes as compare to inside of cell then that solution is hypotonic and if the solution outside the cell contain more solute concentration then it is hypertonic solution
Penetrating solutes can cross biological membranes easily, while non-penetrating solutes cannot pass through the membrane without the help of specific transport mechanisms.

isotonic solution, equilibrium
Concentration is very variable in solutions.
