The concentration gradient determines the direction in which a substance diffuses across a membrane. The concentration gradient is a measure of how the concentration of a substance changes from one place to another.

What determines the direction of net movement across a cellmembrane?

The direction of net movement across a cell membrane is determined by the concentration gradient of a substance, with molecules moving from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Additionally, the permeability of the membrane to the specific molecules also influences their movement. External factors such as temperature and pressure can also impact the direction of movement across the membrane.
