A concentration gradient is a difference in concentration across a space.
It affects diffusion and osmosis because both of these passive transports move down their concentration gradients, or from an area of high concentration to low concentration.

What conditions affect diffusion?
Factors that may affect Diffusion rates are: Temperature, Concentration, Different tissue types, Molecular size, Surface area to volume ratio.
Define term gradient give definition of fick's law?
Fick's laws of diffusion describe diffusion and can be used to solve for the diffusion, the concentration gradient (spatial derivative), or in simplistic terms the concept.
Diffusion in the states of matter?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of a lower concentration down a concentration gradient.
How does a streams gradient affect of velocity?
The steeper the gradient, the higher the velocity of flow.
How long does movement occur across a concentration gradient?
As long as there is a concentration gradient. This is because diffusion occurs which is the net movement of substances from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.
What conditions affect diffusion?
Factors that may affect Diffusion rates are: Temperature, Concentration, Different tissue types, Molecular size, Surface area to volume ratio.
Why is diffusion affected by a decrease in concentrated gradient?
Diffusion is affected by a decrease in concentration gradient because concentration gradient is directly proportional to the rate of diffusion. A decrease in concentration gradient also lowers the rate of diffusion.
What influences the rate of diffusion?
The rate of diffusion increases with temperature. The rate of diffusion also increases with the concentration gradient and the surface area.
What factors affect the diffusion rate?
Diffusion refers to the process where substances from a highly concentrated area move to a place with a lower concentration. The three factors that affect the rate of diffusion are temperature, concentration gradient and the molecular weight of the substances.
If diffusion is going to occur there has to be what?
A difference in the concentration throughout space because diffusion doesn't just happen in a cell or aqueous solution by definition diffusion is just from high to low concentration
What three things can affect the rate of diffusion?
Diffusion refers to the process where substances from a highly concentrated area move to a place with a lower concentration. The three factors that affect the rate of diffusion are temperature, concentration gradient and the molecular weight of the substances.
Diffusion continues until there is no?
Concentration gradient. After there's no concentration gradient, equilibrium occurs, which means no more diffusion.
What must there be for diffusion to occur?
a gradient
Concentration gradient has to do with diffusion?
Yes it does.
How diffusion will occur?
diffusion is occur when different concentration gradient is applied
For diffusion to occur there must be?
For diffusion to occur there needs to be a concentration gradient. Which means that the concentrations on the two sides must be different. In diffusion the particles flow from high concentration to low concentration.
How does the Concentration gradient of a substance affect the movement of that substance and the expenditure of energy?
The larger the concentration gradient (bigger difference between the two solutes across semipermeable membrane) the faster the rate of diffusion.
