Admin When cells move from a more concentrated to an area where they are concentrated is called?
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration of the molecules to an area with a lower concentration. The difference in the concentrations of the molecules in the two areas is called the concentration gradient. Diffusion will continue until this gradient has been eliminated.
What is it called when particles move from a more concentrated area to a less concentrated area?
This spread of particles through random motion from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration is known as diffusion. This unequal distribution of molecules is called a concentration gradient.
When a molecule is moving from where it is less concentrated to where it is more concentrated what type of cell transport is it?
Osmosis
Osmosis is a passive transport process during which water moves from areas where solutes are less concentrated to areas where they are more concentrated. Illustration of osmosis. A beaker is divided in half by a semi-permeable membrane.
When molecules move through a cell membrane from an area of greater concentration to an area of lesser concentration by way of a channel protein is called?
Diffusion is defined as the net movement of particles from an area of greater concentration to an area of lesser concentration. Figure 3.7.
When molecules move down the concentration gradient it means they are moving from?
19. When molecules move from high to low along a concentration gradient we say they are moving “DOWN”the gradient.
Why do molecules move down their concentration gradient?
The kinetic energy of the molecules results in random motion, causing diffusion. it is the random motion of the molecules that causes them to move from an area of high concentration to an area with a lower concentration. Diffusion will continue until the concentration gradient has been eliminated.
