It is the difference in concentration (molecules of a solute per volume of solution) between two locations. Because of the motion of molecules, they are said to diffuse (move, spread) from an area of greater concentration to an area of lesser concentration. Some molecules are always moving in the opposite direction, but the overall trend is "down" the gradient until equilibrium is established between the two regions. And, generally, the larger the gradient or difference, the faster the rate of the diffusion.

What is a differences in concentration called?
concentration gradient
What is the difference between the concentration of a particular molecule in one area and the concentration in an adjacent area?
Concentration Gradient
Do substances in diffussion move with the concentration gradient?
no. High concentration to low concentration. The molecules move down the concentration gradient.
Does chemiosmosis involve a concentration gradient?
Yes, chemiosmosis involves a concentration gradient. Think of chemiOSMOSIS, osmosis being the diffusion of water, which involves a concentration gradient.
What does it means if a substance moves down its concentration gradient?
If a substance moves down its concentration gradient, it means that it is moving from an area where it has a high concentration to an area where it has a low concentration. This is known as diffusion.
What is the difference in the concentration of a substance across a space is called concentration?
Concentration Gradient
What is a differences in concentration called?
concentration gradient
What kind of concentration forms whenever there is a difference in concentration between one place and another?
noThe correct answer if you are dealing with cells is concentration gradient
What does it mean when you are going with the concentration gradient?
Going with the concentration gradient is basically the process of diffusion. Molecules going from a low concentration to a high concentration would be going with the concentration gradient. Going against the concentration gradient would be the movement of particles from a high concentration to a low concentration
The difference in concentration of a substance across space is called a?
it is called a concentration gradient.
Which term describes the difference in the concentration of a substance across a cells membrane?
concentration gradient
What is the difference between the concentration of a particular molecule in one area and the concentration in an adjacent area?
Concentration Gradient
Do substances in diffussion move with the concentration gradient?
no. High concentration to low concentration. The molecules move down the concentration gradient.
Does chemiosmosis involve a concentration gradient?
Yes, chemiosmosis involves a concentration gradient. Think of chemiOSMOSIS, osmosis being the diffusion of water, which involves a concentration gradient.
Why is diffusion affected by a decrease in concentrated gradient?
Diffusion is affected by a decrease in concentration gradient because concentration gradient is directly proportional to the rate of diffusion. A decrease in concentration gradient also lowers the rate of diffusion.
A difference in concentration creates a concentration is?
gradient
A difference in concentration creates a concentration?
