Flux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Except in the case of active transport, net flux is directly proportional to the concentration difference across the membrane, the surface area of the membrane, and the membrane permeability constant. |
 | | In [ecology]], flux is often considered at the ecosystem level - for instance, accurate determination of carbon fluxes (at a regional and global level) is essential for modelling the causes and consequences of global warming. |
 | | For electromagnetic radiation, the flux of the Poynting vector through a surface is the power, or energy per unit time, passing through that surface. |
