A concentration gradient refers to the difference in solute concentration between two regions. When a solute moves from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration, it is moving "downhill" along the concentration gradient. In the reverse situation, where a solute moves from an area of lower concentration to higher concentration, it is moving "uphill" against the concentration gradient.
Simple diffusion
its active transport because it expands in opp direction and pushes
The main difference is that diffusion does not require energy and active transport does require energy. Just for the record diffusion has a concentration that moves from high to low, and active transport has a concentration that moves from low to high. (Hope this helps to answer your question!)
Passive transport involving facilitated diffusion moves particles up a concentration gradient and requires a carrier protein to facilitate the movement across the cell membrane. This process does not require energy input from the cell.
Diffusion occurs when there is a concentration gradient i.e. a substance moves from higher to lower concentration.
Yes, movement of a substance down its concentration gradient is considered passive transport because it does not require energy expenditure by the cell. The substance moves from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration through processes like simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, or osmosis.
A substance that moves by passive transport tends to move down its concentration gradient, meaning from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This process does not require the input of energy.
The concentration gradient refers to the difference in concentration of a substance between two regions. In the context of cell membranes, substances tend to move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration to reach equilibrium. This movement is known as diffusion and it is driven by the concentration gradient.
For simple diffusion to occur, a concentration gradient must exist where a substance moves from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Additionally, the cell membrane must be permeable to the substance diffusing, allowing it to pass through freely.
The low concentration moves down its concentration gradient from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This process is driven by diffusion, where particles move spontaneously from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration until equilibrium is reached.
When a substance moves from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration while using energy the process is called active transport.
Osmosis is the type of diffusion that moves water down a concentration gradient through a semi-permeable membrane. Water moves from an area of higher water concentration (lower solute concentration) to an area of lower water concentration (higher solute concentration).
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.

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