Answer is: Not all mixtures have solutes and solvents.

Solution is homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances.

In aqueous solution, solvent is water and solute (for example salt) is a substance dissolved in water.

Homogeneous solution of salt and water can be separated with heating (evaporating the water).
