chemiotaxis (a response of motile cells or organisms in which the direction of movement is affected by the gradient of a diffusible substance; differs from chemokinesis in that the gradient alters probability of motion in one direction only, rather than rate or frequency of random motion); chemotaxis (a response of motile cells or organisms in which the direction of movement is affected by the gradient of a diffusible substance; differs from chemokinesis in that the gradient alters probability of motion in one direction only, rather than rate or frequency of random motion) |
