Want this question answered?
water uptake at the roots is called osmosis,this is the movement of water molecules from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration against concentration gradient
Yes, chemiosmosis involves a concentration gradient. Think of chemiOSMOSIS, osmosis being the diffusion of water, which involves a concentration gradient.
concentration gradient
It depends on the concentration of the water. Through osmosis, water will move from a higher concentration to a lower concentration, or down a concentration gradient.
no. High concentration to low concentration. The molecules move down the concentration gradient.

Concentration Gradient
Regarded as existing through Space, or Time, or from one end of an aqueous Solution to the 'other'; these differences are seen to occur across a GRADIENT. In other related circumstances we are talking about a Spectrum.
(WATER CELLS ONLY)Water cells move from a higher concentration gradient (more water cells) to a lower concentration gradient (less water cells) through a partially permeable membrane (allows certain substances in and out) and goes with the concentration gradient (high -> low)
Partially permeable membrane(visking tubing) and water
Water moves according to an concentration gradient. Water potential gradient between two places
concentration gradient
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a water permeable membrane. The gradient is the tendency of the water molecules to move from the side of higher concentration of water to the side with lower concentration of water in an attempt to achieve equilibrium.
Osmosis
water across a concentration gradient
All small molecules can move down the concentration gradient as water O2, CO2 etc.
