Detailed explanation-1: -A concentration gradient occurs when the concentration of particles is higher in one area than another. In passive transport, particles will diffuse down a concentration gradient, from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration, until they are evenly spaced.
Detailed explanation-2: -Diffusion: Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration.
Detailed explanation-3: -The process by which molecules spread out and move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration is called diffusion.
Detailed explanation-4: -Figure 3.24 Diffusion through a permeable membrane follows the concentration gradient of a substance, moving the substance from an area of high concentration to one of low concentration.
