Solutions tend to move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. So if a bag is permeable to starch, the starch will rush into the bag.
Such a membrane is said to be selectively permeable or semi-permeable.
A cell membrane is selectively permeable because it only allows particles to move across them due to different concentrations. Molecules move from areas of low concentration to high concentration.
yes, because it is a simple carbohydrate
Yes, that is very true, especially with osmosis (the passing of water through a selectively permeable membrane).
The IKI Is small so the pores of in the bag allow it to go throuch but the starch is to big. So based on the size of the molecules, the glucose and IKI would move out of the bag, the water in, and the starch left in the beaker.
False.
You can pick up flexible silicon tubing 5/16" at any hardware store. Get it the same length as the oxygen tubing you want to protect. Ask the store to slit it all the way along its length on one side, so that the O2 tubing can be pushed into the outer tube, which will close up around it. The outer tubing protects the inner tube, and the cat may try to bite it, but will not get through to the inner tube, so the oxygen keeps flowing. The silicon tube is flexible enough to move very much the way the O2 tube would move, and it gives great peace of mind.
Diffusion across a membrane in biology is referred to as 'osmosis' & osmosis is the process by which solvent molecules move from a region of high conc. to low concentration and this can therefore occur only in one direction at a time for a perticular solution. this is a really smart answer im surprised
thanks for nothing
no, membranes are selectively permeable, letting somethings in and not others
"semipermeable"
Starch does not dissolve in the fluid in the cell, so does not affect water potential. Sugar does dissolve, so would reduce water potential of the cell and cause water to move in to the cell by osmosis.
