Electrochemical gradient

An <electrochemical gradient> combines spatial changes in <chemical potential> and <electric potential> for a charged species. <Passive transport> proceeds downhill in <electrochemical potential> when an appropriate route is available; a <concentration> difference alone does not determine the direction for an <ion>.
