What is concentration gradient downhill or uphill?

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.


Does passive transport move with or against the concentration gradient?

Passive transport moves with the concentration gradient.


Does passive transport move substances with the concentration gradient?

Yes, passive transport moves substances with the concentration gradient.


When a cell membrane protein moves a solute in the opposite direction as the concentration gradient?

The process is known as active transport. It requires energy in the form of ATP to pump the solute against its concentration gradient. This allows the cell to maintain internal concentrations different from its external environment.


Does active transport move molecules against the concentration gradient?

Yes, active transport moves molecules against the concentration gradient.


Does active transport move substances against the concentration gradient?

Yes, active transport moves substances against the concentration gradient.


Does active transport move substances against their concentration gradient?

Yes, active transport moves substances against their concentration gradient.


What moves against the concentration gradient in biological systems?

In biological systems, active transport moves substances against the concentration gradient.


Does passive transport move up or down the concentration gradient?

Passive transport moves down the concentration gradient, from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.


What moves solutes against concentration gradient?

Active transport moves solutes against the concentration gradient by using energy, typically in the form of ATP, to pump molecules across a cell membrane. This process allows cells to maintain specific internal concentrations of molecules that may be higher or lower than the surrounding environment.


Does Passive transport uses ATP to move molecules against their concentration gradient?

No, passive transport does not require ATP because it moves molecules along their concentration gradient, from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. ATP is only required for active transport, which moves molecules against their concentration gradient.


Does passive transport move from high concentration to low concentration?

Passive transport moves molecules from a high to low concentration gradient.
