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.
Diffusion is the net movement of molecules from the region of higher concentration to region of lower concentration.Explanation:Diffusion is a passive process. It is like when you open a bottle of perfume, soon the whole room will be covered with its smell. From region where the concentration is high, the molecules move to the regions where the concentration is low down the concentration gradient unless equilibrium is reached. Diffusion is the net movement of molecules from the region of higher concentration to region of lower concentration.
If it is the movement of molecules then it is diffusion. If it the movement of water then it is osmosis
Active transport is a process that removes substances from a cell against the concentration gradient. The molecules move from low concentration to high concentration during this process.
Diffusion, a form of passive transport, is the movement of molecules from an area of greater concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis is a special case involvement the movement of water from an area of higher concentration of water molecules to an area of lower concentration of water molecules. It takes place in all three states of matter-Solids, liquids and gases.
Yes
Diffusion is movement of molecules, from region of higher concentration, to the region of lower concentration, along concentration gradient.
Diffusion is movement of molecules, from region of higher concentration, to the region of lower concentration, along concentration gradient.
In biology, diffusion is the passive movement of molecules or particles along a concentration gradient, or from regions of higher to regions of lower concentration. Diffusion is the free movement of particles in a liquid or gas down a concentration gradient.
Because it is the movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration in the direction of the concentration gradient. Osmois specifically implies the diffusion of water.
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 random movement of molecules and ions down their concentration gradient (meaning from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration) is called simple diffusion. Simple diffusion is related to the magnitude of driving force, permeability of the membrane, and surface area.
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration and active transport is the movement of molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration
Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from a region of a lower concentration to a higher concentration. Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration down a concentration gradient
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from the area of higher concentration to the area of lower concentration i.e.along concentration gradient . Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable member from a solution of lesser solute concentration to a solution of higher solute concentration .
Is Diffusion the movement of molecules from a greater to a lesser concentration.
