A concentration gradient is a representatinve of energy storage.
ATP the energy currency of the cell will require this conc. gradient for its
formation. HIgher the conc. gradient the higher will be the stored energy
and high the no of ATP can be formed.

When a cell membrane protein moves a solute in the opposite direction as the concentration gradient?
as the concentration gradient increases at the solute side. make the question more clear.
What protein complexes uses energy from a gradient of ion concentration to make ATP?
Synthases.
When hydrogen ions are pumped from the mitochondrial matrix across the inner membrane and into the intermembrane space the result is?
Hydrogen ions are pumped through the membrane in the final stage of ATP generation in the electron transport chain. The ions pumped through the membrane create a gradient and cause the hydrogen to "want" to pass back through the membrane. They do so through the protein channels in the membrane and attaches a phosphate to adenosine diphosphate to make adenosine triphosphate.
What happens in the process of facilitated diffusion In what part of the membrane does it take place?
In facilitated diffusion, substances will still diffuse down their concentration gradient but they make use of a transport protein.
What type of transport takes place when a protein allow an ion to enter a cell but no additional energy is needed to make this happen?
There are two types of transport that use channel proteins.The first type does not require energy to move the substance across the cell membrane.This is called facilitated diffusion. Energy is not required because the particles move along the concentration gradient, or the difference between the high concentration of particles outside the membrane and the low concentration of the particles inside.The second type of transport needs energy because it runs against the concentration gradient. This process is called active transport.

How do you make alkaline?
The concentration of dissociable OH- ions is a measure of the basicity of the substance. Greater the concentration of hydroxyl ions, greater is it alkaline.

Synthases.
How does water move from soil into root hair cell?
osmosis

What Hyperpolarizing membrane potential occurs in the postsynaptic membrane of a synapse?
Hyperpolarization means that the membrane potential becames more negative than the resting potential. This means that it is more difficult for an action potential to be triggered at the postsynaptic membrane. This occurs at inhibitory synapses. Hyperpolarization can be achieved by increasing the permeability of the membrane to potassium or chloride ions. If potassium permeability is increased more potassium ions will leave the cell, down their concentration gradient; if chloride permeability increases chloride ions will enter the cell down their concentration gradient. Both movements will make the inside of the cell more negative ie they will cause hyperpolarization.
What is the energy of hydrogen ion gradient created across the inner mitochondrial membrane used to make?
The hydrogen falls down its electrochemical gradient, from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration, through the ATP synthase and provides the force to power this synthase and synthesize ATP.

What make pure water neutral?
It does not contain any Ions It does contain ions. The point is that the positive (H) and negative (OH) ions are equal in concentration.
What is the Common forms of transport?
Simple Diffusion - Lipid soluble molecules diffuse across the plasma membrane of a cell, uses no ATP energy and only occurs down a concentration gradient.Facilitated Diffusion - Molecules use the aid of proteins scattered throughout the plasma membrane to help them diffuse into or out of a cell, uses no ATP energy and only occurs down a concentration gradient.Co-transport - A molecule such as glucose may have a lower concentration inside a cell than outside so it attaches to a carrier protein, as does a molecule that is higher in concentration inside than outside, a sodium ion for example. The glucose is pulled through the membrane because of its concentration gradient, as this happens the sodium ion is also pulled through. This uses no ATP energy but only occurs if a molecule can move down a concentration gradient (on an exam paper you would have to explain that the sodium moves against a concentration gradient to get full marks).Active transport - A molecule uses the aid of carrier proteins to diffuse against a concentration gradient, this does use ATP energy. The ATP is needed to make the carrier protein change shape. This only occurs against a concentration gradient.
What involves diffusion of hydrogen ions to make ATP?
High concentration of H+ ion in the intermembrane lead to the movement of H+ ions into the inner membrane
