The working of Na+/H+ antiporter to bring protons into a haloalkaliphile growing in high salt at pH 10. Introduction: The microbes are categorized on the basis of various environmental parameters such as temperature, pH (potential of hydrogen), pressure, and oxygen. The microbes that survive in acidic conditions are known as acidophiles while the microbes that grow in basic conditions are called alkaliphiles. Neutrophils are those that survive in neutral conditions where the pH is between 5-8.

in what concentration gradient do water molecules move faster in? would the water molecules move faster when there is a high concentration gradient?

i just answered a hw question that i was a little confused on. i answered it but am not fully sure if it's correct. so can you take a look at check if my answer is correct and if it's not, then a explaintion would be helpful. Would you expect water molecules to move faster when there is a HIGH concentration gradient or a LOW concentration gradient? Water molecules would move faster when there is a high concentration gradient because the pressure for the molecules in the high concentration to reach equilibrium increases since there are more molecules there than in the low concentration. So as the molecules move down the concentration gradient faster to equalize the concentration on both sides due to the increased pressure, the rate of diffusion increases.
