The water is not moving equilibrium.
Diffusion
A concentration gradient of a substance drives the movement of that substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. The steeper the concentration gradient, the faster the movement of the substance, requiring less energy to transport it. If the concentration on both sides of the gradient is equal, there is no net movement of the substance.
This process is called diffusion. If the substance moving is water, it is called osmosis.
The primary substance that has a net movement out of the mitochondria is adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is produced within the mitochondria during cellular respiration and is then transported into the cytosol to provide energy for various cellular processes. Additionally, some metabolic intermediates, such as pyruvate and certain metabolites, may also move out of the mitochondria, but ATP is the most significant in terms of energy transfer.
DIFFUSION DIFFUSION
The water is not moving equilibrium.
DIFFUSION DIFFUSION
A concentration gradient ceases to exist when there is an equal distribution of a substance across a space or membrane. This equal distribution results in no net movement of the substance from one area to another, causing the concentration gradient to reach equilibrium.
The net movement of osmosis stops when the concentration of solute is equal on both sides of the membrane, resulting in equilibrium. At equilibrium, there is no further movement of water molecules across the membrane.
Diffusion
Diffusion
The net movement of osmosis and diffusion stops when the concentration of solute is the same on both sides of the membrane, creating an equilibrium. At this point, there is still movement of molecules back and forth, but there is no overall change in concentration.
No, molecular motion does not stop when diffusion stops. Molecular motion refers to the movement of molecules within a substance, which continues even when there is no net movement of molecules from one region to another (diffusion).
A concentration gradient of a substance drives the movement of that substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. The steeper the concentration gradient, the faster the movement of the substance, requiring less energy to transport it. If the concentration on both sides of the gradient is equal, there is no net movement of the substance.
When there is no difference in concentration of a substance from one area to another, we refer to this as equilibrium. At equilibrium, there is an equal distribution of the substance, and there is no net movement of the substance in any particular direction.
Active transport or facilitated diffusion could result in the net movement of a substance into a cell if it is more concentrated inside the cell than in the surroundings. In active transport, energy is required to move the substance against its concentration gradient. In facilitated diffusion, specific carrier proteins help the substance move into the cell down its concentration gradient.
