What structure maintains homeostasis by controlling the concentration of solutes within a cell?
Homeostasis is a process that keeps a cell stable. The cell membrane, through the process of diffusion, works to move solutes down a concentration gradient to aid in homeostasis.
During diffusion molecules tend to move?
AnswerParticles move from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration because of the concentration gradient,they move down gradient i.e from high to low concentration
What is moving down the concentration gradient in all cells?
All small molecules can move down the concentration gradient as water O2, CO2 etc.
How do you explain passive transport down the concentration gradient?
Particles move from where they are in high concentration to where they are in low concentration.
What moves solutes against concentration gradient?
The processes that can move a solute against its concentration gradient are active transport. All cells are enclosed by a plasma membrane that is similar in structure and function.
Would the passive movement of substances occur if the interstitial solute concentration was the same as the filtrate solute concentration?
No. Solutes move down their concentration gradient, from areas of high concentration to areas of lower concentration.
Do substances in diffussion move with the concentration gradient?
no. High concentration to low concentration. The molecules move down the concentration gradient.

Homeostasis is a process that keeps a cell stable. The cell membrane, through the process of diffusion, works to move solutes down a concentration gradient to aid in homeostasis.
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.
During diffusion molecules tend to move?
AnswerParticles move from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration because of the concentration gradient,they move down gradient i.e from high to low concentration
Where do diffusion molecules move?
Down the concentration gradient

What is the name of the process by which particles move down their concentration gradient?
Diffusion

What do molecules move along in diffusion?
Molecules move a from regions where they are in higher concentrations to regions where they are in lower concentrations. Random
