Answer:
What impact do the available amounts of energy, water, and oxygen have on an ecosystem? They act as limiting factors. ... increasing the biodiversity of the ecosystem.
There is an electrical gradient and there is a concentration gradient.
1.) Chemical gradient better known as concentration gradient is much more powerful and compelling than the electrical gradient.
2.) Water is a polar molecule, meaning one side it positively charged while the other is negatively charged. This polar charged molecule causes water to have a weaker electrical gradient, thus the water has to move on its concentration gradient.
