Answer:

Electrical gradient.

Explanation:

Ions DO NOT move in Ion channels by simple diffusion because most ion channels can be:

I) selective of ions pass through it.

II) operating on a "open and close" principle. Where it opens or close on its own accord OR does so ONLY when induced by a specific influence like change in voltage of ion channels.

IN ADDITION to the concentration gradient, ELECTRICAL GRADIENTS (change in membrane voltage) affects the movement of ions through ion channels
