The term that describes a molecule moving from a low concentration to a high concentration is "active transport." This process requires energy, typically in the form of ATP, because it involves moving substances against their concentration gradient. Active transport is essential for various cellular functions, including nutrient uptake and maintaining ion balance.
Low concentration to high concentration; ATP is used
Which molecule moves to high concentration to low concentration
Active transport uses energy to move molecules against their concentration gradient, from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. This process requires the use of transport proteins and cellular energy in the form of ATP.
Active transport
The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration of that molecule to an area of lower concentration is called simple diffusion.
Diffusion describes the spread of molecules through random motion from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration.

Which molecule moves to high concentration to low concentration
Active transport is used to move a molecule from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration. This process requires energy input in the form of ATP to pump the molecule against its concentration gradient.
Diffusion.
Going with the concentration gradient is basically the process of diffusion. Molecules going from a low concentration to a high concentration would be going with the concentration gradient. Going against the concentration gradient would be the movement of particles from a high concentration to a low concentration
