Dialysis membranes are typically not permeable to sucrose. Removing sugar from the blood can be dangerous as it can lead to hypoglycemia. Sugar molecules are too large to pass through dialysis membranes.

How do glucose pass through the membrane pores?

by moving.


What statement explains why oxygen molecules easily diffuse across a cell membrane which glucose molecules do not?

Glucose is too big to pass throught.


Why does glucose pass through the membrane faster then mannose and galactose?

Glucose passes through the membrane faster than mannose and galactose because glucose is the primary energy source for many cells and is recognized and transported more efficiently by glucose transporters present on the cell membrane. Mannose and galactose have different transporter proteins with lower affinity and therefore pass through the membrane at a slower rate.


The process by which glucose can pass through a cell membrane by combining with special carrier molecules is called?

The process by which glucose can pass through a cell membrane by combining with special carrier molecules is called facilitated diffusion. In this process, carrier proteins aid in the movement of glucose across the membrane down its concentration gradient.


What membrane of the red cell will allow water oxygen carbon dioxide and glucose to pass through?

Plasma membrane


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.


There is a need for glucose inside a cell but the glucose molecule is too large to pass through the cell membrane. How does the cell solve this problem?

It transports the glucose through transport proteins.


How does a cell solve the problem of glucose being to big to pass through the cell membrane?

Cells use transport proteins, such as glucose transporters, to facilitate the movement of glucose molecules across the cell membrane. These transporters act as channels or carriers that allow glucose to pass through the membrane, overcoming the barrier posed by its size.


What explains why oxygen molecules diffuse across a cell membrane while glucose molecules do not?

Glucose is too big to pass through.


There is a need for glucose inside a cell but the glucose molecule is too large to pass through the cell membrane How does the cell solve this problem?

The cell solves this problem by using transport proteins called glucose transporters. These transporters serve as gateways in the cell membrane, allowing glucose molecules to pass through into the cell. This process is facilitated by protein channels that specifically recognize and transport glucose molecules.


Why do cells need carriers proteins that transport glucose?

Large molecules, such as glucose, are not able to pass through the cell membrane. Therefore proteins are needed to transport them across.


What molecules do not pass through the cell membrane easily while molecules pass through the membrane?

Molecules that do not pass through the cell membrane easily are typically large, polar, or charged, such as glucose, ions (like Na⁺ and K⁺), and proteins. In contrast, small, nonpolar molecules, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, can easily diffuse through the lipid bilayer of the membrane. Additionally, water can pass through the membrane via specialized channels called aquaporins, though its small size would otherwise allow some diffusion.
