What molecules will move easily across the cell membrane: large proteins, starch, water, or DNA?
It depends on the membrane, but generally water is the only one that will move across unaided. The rest are too large.
Can starch pass through a cell membrane by diffusion?
Within a plant cell, starch is basically stored energy. Starch is composed to cross sugar molecules that are cross linked to form larger chains of sugar molecules that are better for storage. When the need arises, these larger chains are broken down to sugar molecules and are utilized by plant cells to carry out various biological processes. Starch is a large polymeric structure and does not typically pass through cell membranes.
Would sugar's starch or salt diffuse faster in a dialysis bag?
When considering a dialysis bag, size will determine whether the molecules will permeate the bag. The smaller the molecules, the easier they well be able to pass through, and the faster diffusion will take place. Starch is a carbohydrate - a macromolecule formed from repeating bonded units of glucose monomers. Salt, in comparison, is simply Na+ and Cl- ions (in the aqueous solution). Starch will have a much tougher time getting through the artificial membrane, so it is a safe bet that salt will diffuse faster.
Are membrane pores large enough to let starch through?
NO
How does a visking tubing differ from a cellmembrane?
Visking tubing contains millions of tiny holes which only let small molecules, like water, diffuse through. Large molecules, such as starch, cannot cross the membrane. We say it is partially permeable (permeable means a substance is able to pass through). This is similar to a cell membrane. Visking tubing can therefore be used as a model of a cell.
Which substances did not diffuse the membrane?
starch doesnt diffuse through the dialysis membrane.
Which substance did not diffused through the membrane?
starch doesnt diffuse through the dialysis membrane.
Can Iodine Potassium Iodine when mixed with a starch diffuse through a semipermeable membrane?
yes
What substance can defuse across a membrane?
glucose, iodine.. but not starch... its too big so i has to break down into glucose before it can cross the membrane
Why don't starch molecules pass through partially permeable membranes?
Albumin and starch molecules are too big to diffuse across cell membranes. They will not be able to diffuse from the intestine into the blood and from blood into the cells.
Is the Visking tubing a partailly permeable membrane and why?
Yes, it is a partially permeable membrane. It allows certain substances like glucose and water molecules to diffuse through but not large molecules like starch and sucrose. Selectively permeable.
What molecules will move easily across the cell membrane: large proteins, starch, water, or DNA?
It depends on the membrane, but generally water is the only one that will move across unaided. The rest are too large.
What substance crossed the dialysis membrane?
Cells have methods other than diffusion/osmosis to move materials across the cell membrane, most of which involve membrane proteins and require the use of energy. The cell membrane also performs functions other than controlling the movement of materials into and out of the cell, and the membranes of some specialized cells have very complex functions. So we can see that the cell membrane is a very intricate and important component of the cell.
What would if the concentration of the starch inside of the membrane was greater than the starch concentration outside the membrane?
Assuming the starch can not penetrate the membrane, but the carrier liquid can, then the liquid would flow into the membrane until the two concentrations were the same. Or the starch would migrate out of the membrane until the concentrations were the same if it can.
What will happen if you pour starch indicator solution into the cell and filled the beaker with starch and glucose solution?
The starch indicator solution will diffuse out of the bag (cell) into the beaker, changing the color of the starch solution to a blue, purple, or black color (assuming that it's iodine). The color of the indicator solution inside the bag will not change, because only the glucose can diffuse into the bag, but the starch cannot diffuse into the bag.

What is arrowroot vermicilli?
They are thin white, semi-transparent noodles that are made from arrowroot starch. They are similar to cellophane noodles in appearance.
