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.
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.
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.
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 movement of particles from an area of low concentration to high concentration is an active process.
Yes, the movement of water in a hypertonic solution is from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

Diffusion is the movement of substances from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, resulting in a more uniform distribution.
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.
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.
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.
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Osmosis specifically involves the movement of water molecules, while diffusion can involve any type of molecule.
Water is the substance that moves by osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules through a semipermeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration.
