Would water molecules move faster when there is a high concentartion gradient or low concentartion gradient?
I think basically this question is asking if water molecules will move faster using passive transport or active transport? since it involves water molecules wouldn't it be passive transport since osmosis is a type of passive transport? I'm confused
Introduction
The net movement of anything, typically from a place of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration, is known as diffusion. A gradient in the Gibbs free energy or chemical potential drives diffusion. As with spinodal decomposition, it is conceivable for molecules to diffuse "uphill" from an area of lower concentration to one of higher concentration.
