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 determines the direction in a substance diffuses across a membrane?
The concentration gradient determines the direction in which a substance diffuses across a membrane. The concentration gradient is a measure of how the concentration of a substance changes from one place to another.
What is the difference between the concentration of a particular molecule in one area and the concentration in an adjacent area?
Concentration Gradient
What is the relationship between concentration gradient and active and passive transport?
Concentration gradient= the relative amount of a given substance contained within a solution or in a particular volume of space; the amount of solute per unit volume of solution • the action of strengthening a solution by the removal of water or other diluting agent or by the selective accumulation of atoms or molecules. Diffusion= net movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration The concentration gradient is the amount of substance in a particular area (the substance stays together) Diffusion is when the substance gradually spreads out in its' area. e.g: If you spray perfume in a room, eventually you can smell it all around the room because of diffusion. However if you spray the perfume in the room and it just stays in one spot, that is the concentration gradient.
What is concerntration gradient?
As used in the process of diffusion, the concentration gradient is the graduated difference in concentration of a solute within a solution (as expressed per a unit distance). Molecules tend to move from areas of greater concentration to areas of lesser concentration. i.e. down the 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 concentration gradient moves when a low concentration moves from an area of a higher concentration?
The concentration gradient is controlled by Diffusion. This same movement in reverse is known as Osmosis.
When there is no difference in the concentration of a substance from one area to another?
there is a concentration gradient!:)
When water moves through an area of higher concentration to lower concentration?
When a region of higher concentration to a region of Lower concentration against the gradient which requires Energy is called Active Transport
What is the movement a substance to an area of low concentration from an area of high concentration?
passive transport Movement down a concentration gradient is known as diffusion.
Is the movement of a substance to an area of low concentration from an area of high concentration?
passive transport Movement down a concentration gradient is known as diffusion.
How is the concentration gradient of a substance important to diffusion?
In diffusion, substances flow with a concentration gradient, meaning that they flow from areas of high concentration to areas of lower concentration. Flowing against a concentration gradient would be going from an area of low concentration to an area of higher concentration, but this only occurs in active transport.
When a substance moves from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration while using energy the processed is term is?
When a substance moves from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration while using energy the process is called active transport.
What is the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration?
passive transport Movement down a concentration gradient is known as diffusion.
What determines the direction in a substance diffuses across a membrane?
The concentration gradient determines the direction in which a substance diffuses across a membrane. The concentration gradient is a measure of how the concentration of a substance changes from one place to another.
When the concentration of a substance differs from one area to another this is called concentration?
The concentration gradient is the difference in the concentration of a substance from one location to another. The plasma membrane controls the traffic .
What is the difference between the concentration of a particular molecule in one area and the concentration in an adjacent area?
Concentration Gradient
