What is the difference between a particle being hydrated versus being solvated?

#I Life Science/ Life Sciences Group – I-V
  1. A hydrated particle is surrounded by a shell of water. A solvated molecule is surrounded by a shell of solvent molecules, not necessarily water.

  2. The terms hydrated and solvated mean exactly the same thing.

  3. A hydrated particle has reacted with hydrogen. A solvated particle is dissolved in a solvent.

  4. The word hydrated is used only when the solute is an electrolyte.

A researcher studying bacterial toxin predicts that a lysine within the toxin is important for binding it’s target cell.  She used site-directed mutagenesis to change a codon for lysine (AAA) to one for asparagine (AAU).  However, the mutant toxin still binds to its target cell just as well as the wild-type toxin bound and appears to have no other changes. This type of mutation is probably
