I will say the answer is osmosis or diffusion...I'll go with osmosis. MC
Osmosis is the process where water moves across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. This movement aims to equalize the concentration of solutes on both sides of the membrane.
A substance with a pH of 4 has a greater concentration of hydrogen ions compared to a substance with a pH of 5. The pH scale is logarithmic, so each decrease in pH by 1 represents a tenfold increase in hydrogen ion concentration.
The process of water passing through a selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis. Water will move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration in order to equalize the solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, osmosis is defined as "a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one" (OED 2013). The greater mass present in the higher concentrated solution of the solvent causes the water molecule to pass through the sempermeable membrane until the water concentration of water with concentrated solution are balanced on both sides.
There are a many factors which affect the rate of osmosis. One of the factors is the temperature of the solution and solvent. Temperature affects osmosis because when temperature goes higher, molecules move faster. So, osmosis will increase. If the temperature is decreased, the rate of osmosis will decrease too. Another factor which affects osmosis is the size of the particles. The size of the particles affect osmosis because osmosis is the movement of a solvent through a membrane and membrane's pores, or empty spaces, are different sizes. Only certain particles can fit through any given membrane. The concentration gradient can also affect osmosis because osmosis is a transport process therefore it can only go with the concentration gradient. The lower the concentration of the solute within a solvent, the faster that osmosis will occur into that solvent. The light and dark also affects osmosis because the greater the light, the faster osmosis occurs. The PH affects osmosis as well. The greater the pH of a solution, the more acidic or concentrated it becomes. The greater the concentration gradient of a substance on either side of a membrane the faster osmosis occurs.

There is a greater concentration of Na plus outside and there is a greater concentration of K plus inside the cell. When the stimulus is delivered, the permeability of the membrane is changed, and Na plus diffuses into the cell, initiating the depolarization of the membrane.

no it does not make it greater nor fewer inside the cell membrane it's because difussion keeps on going till equilibrium happens. moreover the process difussion allows solutes to be transferred from the more concentration to the less concentration like what happens in glucose between a cell and blood. :)

Assuming the starch can not penetrate the membrane, but the carrier liquid can, then the liquid would flow into the membrane until the two concentrations were the same. Or the starch would migrate out of the membrane until the concentrations were the same if it can.
A substance with a pH of 4 has a greater concentration of hydrogen ions compared to a substance with a pH of 5. The pH scale is logarithmic, so each decrease in pH by 1 represents a tenfold increase in hydrogen ion concentration.
The hydrogen ion concentration in tomatoes at pH 4.2 is 100 times greater than in rainwater at pH 6.2. pH is a logarithmic scale, so each whole number change represents a tenfold difference in hydrogen ion concentration.
A solution with a pH of 3 has a greater concentration of hydrogen ions compared to a solution with a pH of 7. The pH scale is logarithmic, so each pH unit represents a tenfold difference in hydrogen ion concentration.
The pH of a solution measures the hydrogen ion concentration in that solution. A small change in pH represents a large change in hydrogen ion concentration. For example, the hydrogen ion concentration of lemon juice (pH of 2.3) is 63 times greater than that of tomato juice (pH of 4.1), and 50,000 times greater than that of water (pH of 7.0). mustki2005@yahoo.comNigerian
In an acidic pH, the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) is greater compared to other ions. This is because acidic solutions have a higher concentration of H+ ions, leading to a decrease in pH below 7.
A hydrogen ion (H+) is a positively charged particle that is released when an acid dissolves in water. Acids are substances that release hydrogen ions in solution, making the solution acidic. The concentration of hydrogen ions determines the acidity of a solution, with higher concentrations leading to stronger acids.
