When solute concentrations differ on two sides of a membrane
|
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: -The difference in the concentration of a substance between two areas is called the concentration gradient . The bigger the difference, the steeper the concentration gradient and the faster the molecules of a substance will diffuse. The direction of diffusion is said to be ‘down’ or ‘with’ the concentration gradient.
Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: When the concentration of water and solutes on either side of the cell membrane is same, the solution is said to be isotonic.
