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 oganic compounds made of sugars or starches?
Sugars and starch are organic compounds. But all organic compounds are not made of sugars and starch.
Sugars are stored as this?
When plants store sugar they store it as food
How starch and cellulose treated to allow them to be used by the yeast?
Starch-you use an enzyme e.g. amylase to convert the starch to sugar ,add an enzyme which breaks the starch or cellulose into sugars. The yeast will then ferment the sugars. Not sure about cellulose...
What are these glucose polymers called?
Starch
What enzyme breaks down starch into sugars which are than broken down by the other three enzymes?
starch can be broken down into simple sugars by the enzyme amylase
What can be done to ensure the sugars and amino acids and certain amounts of salts are not remove from the blood by dialysis?
Keep the concentration of these substances in the dialysis fluid same as in the blood, and they won't diffuse out.

How does starch affects amylase?
Amylase breaks starch down into sugars.

Does iodine test for sugars?
it tests for starch
Is starch part of the total sugars?
Yes.
What does the breakdown of protein and starch produce?
Sugars.
What initial product does hydrolysis of starch produce?
Hydrolysis of starch produces simple sugars. This simple sugars then pass through various mechanism to yield ATP molecules. Starch is a storage polysaccride.
Which is not a carbohydrate between oil sugar and starch?
Oil is a form of fat or lipid. (Simple) sugars are carbohydrates complex sugars or starch is also a catrbohydrate.
What are these glucose polymers called?
Starch
