When a substance moves from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration while using energy the processed is term is?
When a substance moves from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration while using energy the process is called active transport.
What means from higher concentration to lower concentration?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules (only) from an area of higher concentration to an area of low concentration.
How is dried fruit an example of Osmosis?
Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of high water concentration to an area of low concentration across a permeable barrier. In this case, the area of high concentration is the fruit and the area of low concentration the air surrounding it, water will move down a concentration gradient into the air.
The process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration?
diffusion
What is the random movement of molecules and ions down their concentration gradient called?
The random movement of molecules and ions down their concentration gradient (meaning from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration) is called simple diffusion. Simple diffusion is related to the magnitude of driving force, permeability of the membrane, and surface area.
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
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
How is the concentration gradient of a substance important to diffusion?
In diffusion, substances flow with a concentration gradient, meaning that they flow from areas of high concentration to areas of lower concentration. Flowing against a concentration gradient would be going from an area of low concentration to an area of higher concentration, but this only occurs in active transport.
What is the tendency of water to move from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower concentration?
osmosis. The water moves down an osmotic gradient from a dilute solution of ions to a move concentrated solution through a partially permiable membrane.
Does active transport move from higher to lower concentration?
Active Transport- When molecules move from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentrationPassive Transport- When molecules move from an area of higher concentration ot an area of higher concentration (also called diffusion)
What is the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration?
passive transport Movement down a concentration gradient is known as diffusion.
What is the difference between the concentration of a particular molecule in one area and the concentration in an adjacent area?
Concentration Gradient
What is transported in passive transport?
A kind of transport by which ions or molecules move along a concentration gradient, which meansmovement from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
When molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration they move with the?
molecules moves through concentration gradient .and molecules move either in the form of ions or gas in the medium
How does water leave a cell when placed in salt water?
osmosis, which is diffusion of water across a membrane from an area with lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration to equalize the concentration on both sides of the membrane.
Is a osmosis a diffusion?
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from the area of higher concentration to the area of lower concentration i.e.along concentration gradient . Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable member from a solution of lesser solute concentration to a solution of higher solute concentration .
