The 17 pages that link to Concentration gradient, each with the reason it gives.

• OsmosisRelated: A solute gradient can correspond to a water-potential gradient across the membrane.

• Membrane potentialRelated: Unequal ion concentrations across the membrane create chemical forces on ions.

• Mass transferRelated: It is the common approximation for the driving force in diffusion models.

• Fick's laws of diffusionRelated: The gradient drives flux in the first law and shapes profiles in the second.

• Active transportRelated: Moving against this difference requires an energy source.

• ChemoreceptorRelated: Chemoreceptors can detect gradients that guide movement toward or away from chemicals.

• Membrane transportRelated: Passive transport follows this difference, while active transport can oppose it.

• Molecular diffusionRelated: Diffusion flux points down this spatial change in concentration.

• Resting membrane potentialRelated: Unequal ion concentrations across the membrane provide a chemical force even before a cell fires.

• Diffusion coefficientRelated: In Fick's first law, the gradient combines with the coefficient to determine diffusive flux.

• Diffusion equationRelated: Diffusive flux points down this gradient in Fick's first law.

• Facilitated diffusionRelated: Neutral solutes diffuse in the direction set by this gradient.

• Passive transportRelated: A concentration difference drives net diffusion toward the region of lower concentration.

• Membrane potentialRelated: Ion gradients supply the chemical component of the force that redistributes charge.
