Answer;
-Down the concentration gradients; evenly distributed
Diffusing molecules move down the concentration gradients until they are evenly distributed.
Explanation;
Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
-Whenever a substance exists in greater concentration on one side of a semipermeable membrane, such as cell membranes, any substance that can move down its concentration gradient across the membrane will do so. If the substances can move across the cell membrane without the cell expending energy, the movement of molecules is called passive transport.
-The mechanism of molecules moving across a cell membrane from the side where they are more concentrated to the side where they are less concentrated is a form of passive transport called simple diffusion.
Salinity and density share a positive relationship. As density increases, the amount of salts in the water—also known as salinity, increases. Various events can contribute to change in the density of seawater. Salinity can decrease from the melting of polar ice or increase from the freezing of polar ice.
Biological diversity is the variety of species in a given area. If a new species is added there are more species and therefore greater biological diversity and if one goes extinct there are less species and therefore less biological diversity.
The first step is understanding-i'm not completely sure how to explain it, but I think it'll make sense if I put the steps in order. Here:
1. Understand (and act with compassion for the speaker)
2. Evaluate (What the person stated-let it sink in and analyze it)
3. Remembering (what you heard-Understood/Evaluated)
4. Selecting (What you should/need to say)
5. Responding (with an appropriate reply)
Hope this helps! -Laura
