when the solute passes from a higher solute concentration to a lower solute concentration, it is known as concentration gradient downhill. and the reverse is true for uphill.
also, down hill transport requires energy which is derived from ATP. uphill transport is not derived from ATP's rather from the random motion of the molecules themselves.
What else can I help you with?
Why is passive transport often referred to as a downhill process and active transport as an uphill process?
Because active means a Acted upon force like some one running or something being pushed by say the wind. And as for the passive it is due to the fact gravity being an always constant and ever present force (leastwise on earth) that it as seen and a mindless force just being pulled down.
What is a differences in concentration called?
concentration gradient
What is the difference between the concentration of a particular molecule in one area and the concentration in an adjacent area?
The concentration gradient is the difference in concentration of a molecule between one area and an adjacent area. This difference creates a gradient that drives the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, a process known as diffusion.
In a typical stream where the gradient is steep the discharge is what?
A steep gradient will force the water to flow downhill faster.
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.
What does a positive and a negative gradient look like?
A positive gradient goes uphill from left to right A negative gradient goes downhill from left to right
Does a heavy car go faster downhill that going uphill?
No the can go faster downhill or uphill
It is .as... to walk downhill then uphill?
easyer
What travels faster uphill than downhill?
A ball travels faster uphill than downhill due to potential energy being converted to kinetic energy as it rolls downhill.
How much force is required to move a wheelchair of 200kg with 3rpm?
What are the dimensions of the wheels? (required to convert rpm to a speed). What gradient is the wheelchair being pushed on? Uphill/downhill, what angle?
Who has the right of way when hiking, uphill or downhill?
In hiking, the general rule is that hikers going uphill have the right of way over those going downhill. This is because it is usually harder for uphill hikers to stop and start again compared to downhill hikers.
What is a positive gradient?
An uphill climb
Which slopes go uphill?
All of them do. If a certain slope goes downhill in one direction, it will go uphill if you look from the other side.All of them do.

What is the difference in the concentration of a substance across a space is called concentration?
The difference in concentration of a substance across a space is called a concentration gradient. It represents the change in concentration over a given distance and drives processes like diffusion and osmosis. Substances move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration along the concentration gradient to achieve equilibrium.

Which is faster a horse or a bicycle?
a bike downhill horse uphill
