iodine cells are smaller then glucose

-------

I would take exception to the first answer.

Iodine is clearly smaller because it exists as a diatomic molecule I2 while glucose is a molecule of 24 atoms, having the chemical formula C6H12O6.

Which solution contains larger molecules cornstarch or iodine?

Cornstarch contains larger molecules compared to iodine. Cornstarch is a polysaccharide made up of long chains of glucose units, making its molecular size significantly larger. In contrast, iodine exists as small diatomic molecules (I2), which are much smaller in comparison. Thus, cornstarch has larger molecular structures than iodine.


What is the equation for iodine mixed with glucose?

I2(l) + H2O(l) -> OI-(aq) + 2H+(aq) + I-(aq)


Does an atom of fluorine have larger or smaller radius than an atom of iodine?

Smaller


Rank the following by relative size glucose moleculeswater moleculesiodine molecules starch molecules and membrane pores?

1) water 2) IKI 3) Glucose 4) Membrane pores 5) starch obviously starch is larger than the pores b/c it is the only substance that didn't pass through the membrane. glucose is the most complex molecule out of the remaining three, (making it 3rd smallest) and IKI is even less complex, and water is the most simple.


Why does glucose diffuse slower than water?

The glucose molecule is much larger than the water molecule.


Why is iodine larger than bromine?

Iodine's electron configuration is 2, 8, 18, 18, 7; bromine's is 2, 8, 18, 7. At the simplest level of modelling there is one more electron shell occupying space in an iodine atom than in one of bromine.


Why does tellirium has a larger mass number than iodine?

Iodine is a non metal element. Atomic mass number of it is 127.


What molecule is larger glucose or albumin?

Glucose molecules are larger than water molecules.


Is glucose expected to have a positive iodine test?

Yes, glucose is expected to give a positive iodine test. Iodine reacts with glucose to form a blue-black color, indicating the presence of reducing sugars in the sample.


Is iodine an indicator of glucose?

Iodine is not an indicator of glucose. Iodine is primarily used as an indicator for the presence of starch in a solution through the formation of a blue-black color complex. Glucose can be tested using methods such as Benedict's solution, Fehling's solution, or glucose test strips.


Why Did Glucose Give Negative Result in iodine test?

Glucose gives a negative result in the iodine test because iodine primarily reacts with starch, forming a blue-black complex. Glucose, being a simple monosaccharide, does not have the helical structure that starch possesses, which is necessary for the iodine to bind effectively. Therefore, when iodine is added to a solution containing glucose, no color change occurs, resulting in a negative test.


Which reacts to iodine glucose or starch?

Starch turns blue when Iodine is introduced. Added: Though it's not quite a chemical reaction, Iodine will give starch a bluish purple color but it stays chemically UNchanged. Iodine stays reddish brown with glucose and many other oligosaccharides (up till about 10 to 15 monomeric glucose units)
