Let's start with the passive diffusion of uncharged solute A across a membrane, which can be represented by the chemical equation A out ↔ A in . Intuitively, you probably believe that the rate of net ...Let's start with the passive diffusion of uncharged solute A across a membrane, which can be represented by the chemical equation A out ↔ A in . Intuitively, you probably believe that the rate of net diffusion or the flux of A across the membrane is directly proportional to the concentration gradient across the membrane.
