Visking type is a seamless cellulose tube used as a membrane in dialysis and as an edible casing for sausages. It really does not represent anything.

What part of our bodies acts like a visking tube?

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.


What can you use as alternative to visking tube?

the visking tubing is useless and we need an alternative. can u helpful human beings help please? we are in the middle of a chaotic crisis trying to find the reason for osmosis. please help you kind human beings :) i hate you bye -from the scientists of Mars :


How can you use a visking tube to test the hypothesis that osmosis happens faster at higher temperatures?

Put a sucrose solution into the visking tube and fasten the ends, then place it in water (at different temperatures). The varying temperatures would quicken or slow the rate of diffusion (osmosis). Then using iodine, you put some in the water that the visking tube was in and if it turns dark blue/black the more sucrose has diffused. This can be put into a calorimeter to check the intensity for different temps. You should find that the higher the temp. the higher the rate of diffusion (because particles are excited and have more kinetic energy and move more). Hope this helps =) Sana (17 yrs)
