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 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.
How does the Concentration gradient of a substance affect the movement of that substance and the expenditure of energy?
The larger the concentration gradient (bigger difference between the two solutes across semipermeable membrane) the faster the rate of diffusion.
What is a concentration gradient?
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.
How does tonicity relate to osmosis?
Tonicity refers to the measure of the effective osmotic pressure gradient between two solutions. The higher the difference in the tonicity between the two solutions, the more osmosis transpires.
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 is the difference between the concentration of a particular molecule in one area and the concentration in an adjacent area?
Concentration Gradient
What forms a concentration whenever there is a difference in concentration between one place and another?
A concentration gradient forms when there is a difference in concentration between one place and another.
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 isThe difference in concentration between a region of high concentration and one of lower concentration?
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.
What is diffussion and osmosis?
The difference between diffusion and osmosis is that diffusion is the passive movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration down the concentration gradient. Particles will continue to move until dynamic equilibrium is reached, which is a state where the particles are evenly spread.Osmosis is the movement of water from a hypotonic solution (solution with less concentration) to a hypertonic solution (solution with a greater concentration of solute). Water will move to even the concentration of the two solutions to establish a state where both solutions are isotonic. ( two solutions have the same concentration).
What is formed when there is difference in concentration between one place and another?
gradient
What is a similarity between osmosis and diffusion?
they are both the movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration down a concentration gradient
How does the Concentration gradient of a substance affect the movement of that substance and the expenditure of energy?
The larger the concentration gradient (bigger difference between the two solutes across semipermeable membrane) the faster the rate of diffusion.
How does stuff knows when to start diffusing?
The process of diffusion occurs when there is a concentration gradient, meaning a difference in the concentration of substances between two areas. The molecules will naturally move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until equilibrium is reached. Therefore, "stuff" starts diffusing when there is a concentration gradient present.
How does water leave a cell when in salt water?
Water moves according to an concentration gradient. Water potential gradient between two places
What is the difference between concentration gradient of molecule and ions?
