What else can I help you with?
What structure is the statement below most likely referring to A large glucose molecule requires facilitated diffusion but an oxygen molecule does not?
A large glucose molecule requires facilitated diffusion but an oxygen molecule does not is a semipermeable membrane.
What is a diffused molecule from a semipermeable membrane?
What is the situation? Provided a concentration gradient and a molecule that passes through a membrane, diffusion will happen. Generally small and nonpolar molecules will pass through a membrane down a concentration gradient. That doesn't answer your question but it may be the answer your looking for.
What is this statement most likely referring to Small nonpolar molecules may pass through this structure but others require a protein channel?
Small non-polar molecules may pass through a a semipermeable membrane but others require a protein channel.
Does osmosis require a semipermeable membrane?
Semi permeable membrane means a very thin layer of material which allows some molecule to pass through them and prevent some molecule to pass through them. Osmosis is the passage of water from a dilute solution via a membrane which is semi permeable to a more concentrate solution. So the membrane should be semi-permeable so as to only allow the movement of H2O molecules and not the other molecules of the mixture.
A membrane that allows some but not all materials to pass through it is called .?
This sort of membrane is said to be semipermeable.
What single characteristic of the semipermeable membrane used in the laboratory determines the substances that can pass through them?
The molecular size of the substances is the single characteristic that determines which substances can pass through a semipermeable membrane in the laboratory. Smaller molecules can pass through while larger molecules are blocked.
Why is glucose allowed to pass through a semipermeable membrane and not starch?
Whether molecules are able to pass through the membrane depends on the size of the molecules. Smaller ones can, and larger ones cannot. Glucose can pass through a cell membrane because it is a monomer, which is a smaller molecule than the polymer molecules of starch.
Which molecule among the following will not pass through the phospholipid bilayer of a membrane?
The molecule that will not pass through the phospholipid bilayer of a membrane is a large and polar molecule.
What do you call a membrane that only allows certain substances to pass through it?
semipermeable membrane
What is the semipermeable membrane?
The cytoplasm of a cell is surrounded by a cell membrane or plasma membrane. The membrane is said to be 'semi-permeable', in that it can either let a substance pass through freely, pass through to a limited extent or not pass through at all.the membrane is somewhat effective at letting fluids through
Can sulfate ions and starch molecules be separated by a semipermeable membrane?
No, sulfate ions and starch molecules cannot be separated by a semipermeable membrane because of their differing sizes. Sulfate ions are small enough to pass through the pores of a typical semipermeable membrane, while starch molecules are much larger and cannot permeate the membrane. Therefore, a semipermeable membrane would allow sulfate ions to pass through while retaining the starch molecules on one side.
What ways is a dialysis membrane functionally similar to a plama membrane?
They are both semipermeable allowing certain things to pass though membrane and other not to pass through membrane.
