Why is a dialysis membrane not permeable to sucrose?

No; the sucrose molecule (as a disaccharide) is too large to pass through by passive diffusion. Glucose, on the other hand, (a monosaccharide) is able to permeate the dialysis tubing. In the body, glucose/sucrose is transmitted across membranes though the use of active/facilitated diffusion.


Why did osmosis, but not diffusion of sucrose molecules, occur across the dialysis membrane containing 20% sucrose solution?

Sucrose cannot diffuse across a dialysis tubing. This is because it's size is too large to go through the tubing. Water can diffuse across.


What are the effect of ozone diffusion and green house effect?

Ozone diffusion and greenhouse effect increase the temperature on earth. This can cause various natural calamities.


How could you prove or disprove that a specific solute such as sucrose was able to diffuse through a semi-permeable membrane?

To prove that sucrose can diffuse through a semi-permeable membrane, you could set up an experiment using a dialysis bag filled with a sucrose solution placed in pure water. If the sucrose molecules diffuse through the membrane, you would observe a change in the concentration of sucrose in the surrounding water over time. To disprove diffusion, you could use a membrane that is impermeable to sucrose, demonstrating that no concentration change occurs in the surrounding solution. Measuring the concentration of sucrose in both compartments before and after a set period would provide clear evidence of diffusion or lack thereof.


How do temperature effect the rate of diffusion?

higher temp = higher rate of diffusion


What effect does NaCl have on glucose diffusion?

No it does not


What is the movement of sucrose molecules called?

The movement of sucrose molecules is called diffusion, which is the process of molecules spreading out from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This movement occurs until equilibrium is reached.


When could diffusion be dangerous?

pollution that can make us medically unwell is an effect of diffusion


Does diffusion effect cell size?

Yes


How did cultural diffusion effect ancient Greece?

it had no effect


What is the effect of the density of liquid on the rate of diffusion?

The increase in density will decrease the rate of diffusion. There is an inverse relation between density and rate of diffusion.


In this experiment there was a positive sucrose uptake Sucrose probably entered the cells by what means?

Sucrose likely entered the cells through a process called facilitated diffusion, which involves the use of specific carrier proteins to transport the molecule across the cell membrane. The carrier proteins help move the sucrose down its concentration gradient into the cells without requiring energy input from the cell.
