A concentration gradient in the electrolyte is illustrated. · If the electrolyte is unstirred, the gradiant causes H-ion diffusion to the surface, where they capture electrons (reduction) to become ...

Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region where they are in high concentration to a region where they are in low concentration, and is one of the ways substances can move across the ...

Thus, via this hierarchy of protein concentration profiles, the shape information that is encoded in the gradient gets transformed into a mechanochemical response - the contraction wave that ...

This is against a concentration gradient, so it will not happen naturally. Animals therefore use active transport to absorb glucose into the blood under these conditions.

As the gradient decays, the position of this threshold value moves at varying speed along the membrane, depending on the cell shape. Thus, via this hierarchy of protein concentration profiles, the ...

In particular, by experimental and theoretical approaches, they demonstrated that pure diffusion in a growing tissue is sufficient to explain the AN3 gradient formation.
