So, imagine you had some substance in a bowl. The bowl has a little wall going through the middle, with no openings or anything.
On one side of the wall, there are 100 molecules of the supstance. On the other, there are 10 molecules.
Now, imagine that you make an opening in that little wall that separates the substance into two parts.
Normally, the 100 molecules would start pouring into the part with 10 molecules, or “go down the concentration gradient”, which means going from the part with higher concentration into lower until they are equal.
Going /against/ the concentration gradient is just the opposite — if the 10 molecules went into the side with 100, which takes energy to do.

Why did Austria shift alliances in the mid-1700s?
Nesterboy [21]

The correct answer is B) Austria began to see Prussia as a greater threat than France.

<em>Austria shifted alliances in the mid-1700s because Austria began to see Prussia as a greater threat than France. </em>

After the first Treaty of Versailles, Austria reviewed his foreign policy and realized that Prussia was a greater threat than France. So in 1756, Austria made an alliance with France after many years of having the British as its allies. Previously, Austria had lost some territory in war, so it preferred to change its foreign policies in order to protect its interest in further conflicts.
