concentration gradient definitions
# Definition Sets
1the path molecules travel when an imbalance between separated molecule concentrations exists64 sets
2a difference in the concentration of a substance across a distance55 sets
3the difference in the concentration of molecules across a distance35 sets
4a difference in the concentration of a substance across a space32 sets
5an increase or decrease in the density of a chemical substance in an area. cells often maintain concentration gradients of ions across their membranes. when a gradient exists, the ions or other chemical substances involved tend to move from where they are more concentrated to where they are less concentrated.15 sets
6difference in concentration of a substance on two sides of a membrane15 sets
7an increase or decrease in the density of a chemical substance in an area12 sets
8a difference in the concentration of a substance across a distance.12 sets
9difference in the concentration of molecules across a distance11 sets
10a difference in concentration between 2 areas9 sets
11an increase or decrease in the density of a chemical substance in an area. cells often maintain concentration gradients of ions across their membranes. when a gradient exists, the ions or other chemical substances involved tend to move from where they are more concentrated to where they are less concentrated8 sets
12a region along which the density of a chemical substance increases or decreases.8 sets
13the concentration of solute is not even throughout the solvent7 sets
14the difference in the concentration of molecules across a distance.7 sets
15an increase or decrease in the density of a chemical substance in an area.6 sets
16the difference in concentration of a substance across space5 sets
17the difference of concentration of molecules across a distance5 sets
18the gradual difference in concentration of a dissolved substance in a solution between a region of high density and one of lower density.4 sets
19difference in concentration4 sets
20difference in the concentration of a substance across a distance4 sets
21a difference in concentration between two areas4 sets
22the difference in the concentration of molecules across a space4 sets
23an increase or decrease in the density of a chemical substance in an area. cells often maintain concentration gradients of ions across their membranes. when a gradient exists, substances tend to move from where they are more concentrated to where they are less concentrated.4 sets
24the gradual difference in the concentration of solutes in a solution between two regions. in biology, a gradient results from an unequal distribution of ions across the cell membrane. when this happens, solutes move along a concentration gradient. this kind of movement is called diffusion.3 sets
25difference in the concentration of a substance across a space3 sets
26the difference in concentration of molecules across a distance3 sets
27concentration difference across space3 sets
28the gradual change or fading in concentration/ diffusion3 sets
29a difference in the concentration of a substance from one location to another.3 sets
30the difference in concentration of a substance between two parts of a fluid or across a barrier such as a membrane3 sets
31difference in concentration across space3 sets
32a difference in concentration of molecules across a distance3 sets
33the gradual difference in concentration of a dissolved substance in a solution between a region of high density and one of a lower density3 sets
34a3 sets
35the region along which the density of a chemical substance decreases3 sets
36the path molecules travel when an imbalance between separated molecule concentrations exists user-3 sets
37difference in concentration between two areas3 sets
38a difference in the number per unit volume of molecules or ions of a substance between two regions. molecules collide constantly and careen outward to a region where they are less concentrated. all substances tend to diffuse down such gradients.3 sets
39the difference in the concentration of a substance from one location to another3 sets
40diffusing down of this until equilibrium is reached3 sets
