If by "too much of a solute" you mean past the solute's solubility point, then the solute will not dissolve and instead precipitate and sink beneath the solvent.
If you create a supersaturated solution, the solute will crystallize in the solvent until the remaining solute creates a saturated solution with the solvent.

How do concentrated and dilute solutions differ from saturated and unsaturated ones?
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.
Would Solubility tell you how fast a solute will dissolve true or false?
solubility is a measurement that describes how much solute dissolves in a given amount of the solvent.
What solutions one that contains as much solute as can be dissolved in the solvent?
That solution is called saturated.
What happens to sugar when added to tea?
When you add sugar (solute) into the tea (solvent) it mixes together to make a solution (when a solute/sugar, mixes into a solvent/tea.)The particles in the tea will start breaking up the sugar molecules. This is called dissolving, that is when a solute will mixes and disappear into a solvent.
What is the type of solution with so much solute that no more will dissolve?
When a solute is added to a solvent until no more dissolves, the solution is said to be saturated. In some cases a solution can be made to be supersaturated by temporarily increasing the solubility of the solvent, such as through an increase in temperature.
What happens if you heat a solvent?
You can dissolve twice as much solute in it
How much solvent can dissolve a given amount of solute?
This depend on the solute and the specific solvent.
What tells us how much solute is present compared to the amount of solvent?

How does the boiling point of a solvent change when a solute is dissolved in it how does the freezing point change?
The boiling point rises and the freezing point lowers.The reason being, when a solute dissolves in a solvent, the solute molecules wedge themselves between the solvent molecules. In order for the solvent to freeze, its molecules have to get close enough together to form a solid. However, the solute molecules are in the way. As a result, it requires much colder temperatures for the solvent molecules to form a solid, despite the hindrance of the solute's molecules. The same sort of thing happens when trying to boil the solvent, only instead of holding the solvent molecules apart, the solute molecules end up holding them together, preventing them from boiling. Therefore, a more energy is needed to break the bond between solvent and solute, which allows the solvent to boil.

A measure of how much solute is present compared to the amount of solvent?
The solubility is expressed in grams of solute dissolved in 1 liter of solvent, at a given temperature.

A solution in which as much solute as possible is dissolved in a solvent is what?
Saturated.
