Cannot pass through visking tubing: sugar starch lactose sucrose Can pass through visking tubing: Iodine Glucose Maltose
small intestine
small intestines and the blood that surrounds in (ie in the capillaries)
it is the pollen tube
It is a plant that has a tube in which water/minerals can pass through.
fine glucose molecules can pass through the wall of the visking tube.

We supply Visking tubing and offer the following information: The molecular weight cut-off of this product is 12000 - 14000 daltons. This means in theory that molecules larger in MW than this will not pass through the membranes and ones smaller will. Starch has a very high molecular weight and the tubing is often used to illustrate the effect of enzymes breaking starch down into to simple sugars. Starch therefore should not pass through the membrane wall. The user of this product should be aware that this is a nominal cut-off and long thin molecules above the 14kd cut-off may go through and globular molecules below may be retained. In addition the charge on a molecule may effect the rate of transfer across the membrane.
Visking tubing is a kind of seamless semi permeable tubing, a cellulose tubing, that is made of regenerated cellophane. It is used as an edible casing for sausages or as a membrane in dialysis.
You may be thinking of the blood capillaries. Like visking tubing, their walls are able to let substances diffuse in and out. This is also true of the cell membranes. However both of these are much more permeable than visking tubing. The kidney contains semi-permeable membranes which allow urea to pass through but not other substances such as proteins.
visking tubing
Visking tubing is made of cellulose and often used as a model gut in class room experiments.
small intestine
it is different because widts of the tube and intestine may vary

can someone tell me what is good about visking tube and whats bad about it asap because i need to give my homework by tmor and my homework relates 2 that
If the cut off from tube dialysis will be larger than the insulin shape, insulin cant pass through it
