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.

When water moves through an area of higher concentration to lower concentration?
When a region of higher concentration to a region of Lower concentration against the gradient which requires Energy is called Active Transport
Compare and contrast active transport and facilitated diffusion-?
Active transport moves solutes against their concentration gradient; facilitated diffusion moves substances down their concentration gradient.
What does concentration gradient have to do with diffusion of substances across the cell membrane?
concentration gradient moves from high to low until equilibrium is reached.
What is it called when water molecules move from low concentration of solutes to high concentration of solutes?
Osmosis. A solution with a low concentration of solutes would have a higher concentration of water than a solution with a high concentration of solutes. So in this case, water is moving from a higher concentration of water to a lower concentration of water, which is osmosis.
When a cell membrane protein moves a solute in the opposite direction as the concentration gradient?
as the concentration gradient increases at the solute side. make the question more clear.
When water moves through an area of higher concentration to lower concentration?
When a region of higher concentration to a region of Lower concentration against the gradient which requires Energy is called Active Transport
Compare and contrast active transport and facilitated diffusion-?
Active transport moves solutes against their concentration gradient; facilitated diffusion moves substances down their concentration gradient.
What concentration gradient moves when a low concentration moves from an area of a higher concentration?
The concentration gradient is controlled by Diffusion. This same movement in reverse is known as Osmosis.
Which process moves an ion across a cell membrane against a concentration gradient?
ative transport
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.
Which transport mechanisms moves materials across a plasma membrane against an apparent concentration gradient?
active transport
What are some characteristics of facilitated diffusion?
The substances are moving from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration with the help of a protein channel.
What is it called when water molecules moves from low concentration of solutes to high concentrations of solutes?
Osmosis. A solution with a low concentration of solutes would have a higher concentration of water than a solution with a high concentration of solutes. So in this case, water is moving from a higher concentration of water to a lower concentration of water, which is osmosis.
What is a major difference between facilitate diffusion and active transport?
Active transport moves substances against the concentration gradient.
What does concentration gradient have to do with diffusion of substances across the cell membrane?
concentration gradient moves from high to low until equilibrium is reached.
Which way do molecules move during active transport?
hii friends?? hws life?? i think acitve transport moves molecules throught the speed of light and it needs blood and carbon dioxide to go through this process!!! Good luck people who need this answer bye!!! by: gabriel
