A solute is a substance dissolved in a solvent. It can be an ion or undissociated compound, such as glucose. The solutes in a solution contribute to the osmolarity of the solution. When there is a semi-permeable membrane, which allows water to pass but not the solute, water moves to the side of higher osmolarity.

The SOLUTE is the solution which carries the particle or chemical that goes through a cell wall etc. through OSMOSIS
