If a substance moves down its concentration gradient, it means that it is moving from an area where it has a high concentration to an area where it has a low concentration. This is known as diffusion.

Diffusion is an example of when ions move down a concentration gradient.

What moves up a concentration gradient and requires a carrier?
Primary Active Transport.
What is the transport that moves a solute down the concentration gradient?
Simple diffusion
What moves up a concentration gradient?
its active transport because it expands in opp direction and pushes
What best describes passive transport?
it moves materials from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentrationit moves materials of high concentration to areas of low concentration
What would happen if the concentration of molecules outside the cell was lower than the inside?
the carbon dioxide will move into the cell due to the concentration of carbon dioxide outside of the cell being higher
Where and when does diffusion occur?
Diffusion occurs when there is a concentration gradient i.e. a substance moves from higher to lower concentration.
What concentration gradient moves when a low concentration moves from an area of a higher concentration?
The concentration gradient is controlled by Diffusion. This same movement in reverse is known as Osmosis.
When water moves through an area of higher concentration to lower concentration?
When a region of higher concentration to a region of Lower concentration against the gradient which requires Energy is called Active Transport
What does concentration gradient have to do with diffusion of substances across the cell membrane?
concentration gradient moves from high to low until equilibrium is reached.
Term for the movement of substance against a concentration gradient?
active transport eduction. this is the process in which this moves across. peanut butter jelly time
When a cell membrane protein moves a solute in the opposite direction as the concentration gradient?
as the concentration gradient increases at the solute side. make the question more clear.
What moves solutes against concentration gradient?
The processes that can move a solute against its concentration gradient are active transport. All cells are enclosed by a plasma membrane that is similar in structure and function.
What moves up a concentration gradient and requires a carrier?
Primary Active Transport.
Does passive transport move from high concentration to low concentration?
Passive transport moves molecules from a high to low concentration gradient.
What movement of the substances through a cell membrane against a concentration gradient requires energy?
no because it is a form of passive transport. only active transport requires energy. facilitated diffusion just means that it cant be just absorbed through the membrane, it must go through specific chanels or be helped by transport proteins. but because facilitated diffusion moves from higher to lower concentrations, it requires no energy.
A substance that moves by passive transport tends to move where?
Passive transport means it does not require energy. Therefore, substances move from areas of high concentration to low concentration. They do not require energy because they are staying within the concentration gradient.
What is the transport that moves a solute down the concentration gradient?
Simple diffusion
