a. solute.

b. solvent.

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Solute: blank circles.

b. Solvent: plus symbols.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, in order to clarify the statement, the corresponding figure is attached as a picture wherein it is clear that the solute which is sugar is symbolized by blank circles and the solvent which is water by plus symbols.

Now, it is possible to distribute them in such way due to the fact that the permeable membrane allows the movement of the solvent (water) through it in order to regulate the water content into the cell as the lack of water could cause several issues.

Best regards.
