Is the rate of diffusion in a steeper concentration gradient slower than in a shallow concentration gradient?

No, the rate of diffusion is faster in a steeper concentration gradient compared to a shallow one. A steeper gradient means there is a larger difference in concentration between two areas, which drives molecules to move more quickly from the area of higher concentration to the area of lower concentration. Conversely, a shallow gradient has a smaller difference, resulting in a slower diffusion rate.


What is a shallow slope?

A shallow slope is when the numbers for the rise and run cause the line to be slanted very little (between zero degrees and 25). Those numbers are just estimations. Do not by any means take them to be definite.


Is the magma in a shield volcano deep or shallow?

shallow


What are shallow parts of the sea or ocean called?

Shallow parts of the sea or ocean are called shoals or shallows. They are areas where the water depth is relatively shallow, making them potentially hazardous for navigation.


How does humidity affects the rate of transpiration?

Transpiration rates decrease proportionally to the amount of humidity in the air. This is because water diffuses from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. Thus, when the air spaces between the mesophyll cells in a leaf are saturated with water vapor, and the air outside the leaf is likewise saturated, there is a shallow gradient. A shallow gradient results in a slower transpiration rate. Conversely, if the air outside the leaf is relatively dry, the gradient becomes steep and the rate of transpiration increases.

What is a shallow gradient?

A shallow gradient is a low slope of land. It usually has contour lines that are decent way apart from one another.

How do corals breathe?

I will refer to delivery and removal of CO2 and O2 as "gas exchange," which is the sum of the rate of diffusion into and out of an organism. The total amount of gas exchange is dependent on the rates of diffusion and the rates of diffusion are dependent on the availability of moisture, surface area and concentration gradients. When we are dealing with corals there is no need to pay attention to the availability of moisture because they grow in water, since they breathe the same way that fish do, and therefore moisture is not a limiting factor for diffusion. Surface area is controlled mostly by the corals themselves; in the short term corals can change their polyp extension and colony expansion, and in the long term corals can modify their morphology. The only factor left for aquarists to control is the concentration gradient, which is affected by the degree and type of water motion.


How do contour map show area of shallow gradient?

Contour maps have lines along points at the same height or elevation. The contours are usually drawn at regular intervals, such as every 10 or 50m of height change.Where contour lines are very close on a map, this shows that the height is changing a great deal over a short horizontal distance, and therefore the gradient is steep.Areas of shallow gradient will have contour lines that are a long way apart, showing that points that are a set distance apart in height are a large distance apart horizontally.


Does Blackpool have a harbor?

No, you would have to be a few miles out because the sand extends a long way out and has a very shallow gradient. but there is one 5 Miles up the coast at Fleetwood.

Describe how to distinguish a paramagnet from a ferromagnet by m versus h curves?

A ferromagnet has a steep gradient B /H curve with very noticeable hysteresis. A paramagnet has a shallow curve with almost no hysteresis.
