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.

Is diffusion quicker when there is a higher concentration gradient?
yes cause the more concentration the quicker
How are diffusion and active transport different?
There are two types of diffusion. Facilitated and non facilitated. Diffusion occurs when there is a concentration gradient. That is, when an area has more concentration than the other area. Diffusion is used to transfer particles from one place to another. Active transport is used to transfer particles, usually occurring against a concentration gradient. Active transport requires energy to occur however, diffusion does not. There are two types of diffusion. Facilitated and non facilitated. Diffusion occurs when there is a concentration gradient.

Solutes move down a concentration gradient in?
facilitated diffusion
What is the term for the Diffusion of water across the concentration gradient?
Osmosis
How does diffusion occur most rapidly- with or against the concentration gradient?
Diffusion only occurs down a concentration gradient. Put a drop of food coloring in a glass of water - you will never see the food coloring spontaneously concentrate. It will always spread down the gradient.
What is the spontaneous tendency of a substance to move down its concentration gradient from a more concentrated to a less concentrated area?
Liquid diffusion, leading to a solution with an intermediate concentration.
Is Oxygen diffusion rate affected by the pressure gradient of carbon dioxide?
No According to my utas quiz :)
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 factors affect the diffusion rate?
Diffusion refers to the process where substances from a highly concentrated area move to a place with a lower concentration. The three factors that affect the rate of diffusion are temperature, concentration gradient and the molecular weight of the substances.
Water crosses plasma membranes through specialized channels?
Water crosses plasma membranes through specialized channels called diffusion and concentrated gradient.
If diffusion is going to occur there has to be what?
A difference in the concentration throughout space because diffusion doesn't just happen in a cell or aqueous solution by definition diffusion is just from high to low concentration
What three things can affect the rate of diffusion?
Diffusion refers to the process where substances from a highly concentrated area move to a place with a lower concentration. The three factors that affect the rate of diffusion are temperature, concentration gradient and the molecular weight of the substances.
Diffusion continues until there is no?
Concentration gradient. After there's no concentration gradient, equilibrium occurs, which means no more diffusion.
Why did whole milk move?
The whole milk moves because of diffusion.The molecules of milk diffuse thorugh the water as in simple diffusion, molecules diffueses from where it is more concentrated to where it is less concentrated to where it is less concentrated (diffusing down its concentration gradient). This leads to dynamic equilibrium; the solute molecules of mile continue to cross the membrane but at equal rates in both directions. Diffusion is a spontaneous process, needing no input of energy. No work must be done to move substances down the concentration gradient.
What must there be for diffusion to occur?
a gradient
Concentration gradient has to do with diffusion?
Yes it does.
How diffusion will occur?
diffusion is occur when different concentration gradient is applied
