Concentration gradient


concentration gradient
A regular increase of decrease in the intensity or density of a chemical substance. Cells often maintain concentration gradients of H+ ions across their membranes.

concentration gradient The difference in concentration in two parts of a system.

a concentration gradient (20/0.1 = 200) and a
electrostatic gradient (moving a negative charge against a voltage of − 70 mV).
Full article >>>

If and when the concentration gradient have been eliminated, no net exchange of material occurs. Although material may move forth from one area to the other, it will be balanced by movement of the same amount of material to the opposite direction.

Responses to the Concentration Gradient
Coordinate genes such as bicoid lay down the grand plan, so to speak, upon which the genes downstream will act. The pattern of the developing embryo arises as these downstream genes are activated or repressed.

Movement against a concentration gradient requires energy. The energy is supplied by ATP which is released by breaking a phosphate bond to produce ADP:

Some of these proteins can move materials across the membrane only when assisted by the concentration gradient, a type of carrier-assisted transport known as facilitated diffusion.
