This is called diffusion. Substances move randomly, from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Osmosis is a specific type of diffusion that only involves the random movement of water.
Yes, movement of a substance down its concentration gradient is considered passive transport because it does not require energy expenditure by the cell. The substance moves from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration through processes like simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, or osmosis.
The low concentration can be 'a particular thing is present in low quantity'.... same way how low concentration of salt in water means low quantity of salt in water.....it is used in biology......for hypertonic solution, isotonic solution, hypotonic solution..........
Diffusion is the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, driven by the random motion of molecules. It is a passive process that does not require energy input.
When ketone bodies are present in large amounts in the blood and urine, it usually indicates increased metabolism of fats. This can occur during conditions such as fasting, low carbohydrate intake, or uncontrolled diabetes mellitus.
The movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration is known as diffusion. This process occurs due to the random motion of particles, leading to a net movement of particles down their concentration gradient. Diffusion is driven by the principle of entropy, seeking to achieve a state of equilibrium where the concentration of the substance is uniform throughout the system.

Diffusion involves mass movement of particles within a substance, where particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration to achieve equilibrium.
A concentration gradient of a substance drives the movement of that substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. The steeper the concentration gradient, the faster the movement of the substance, requiring less energy to transport it. If the concentration on both sides of the gradient is equal, there is no net movement of the substance.
