to prevent haemodialysis
Glucose diffuses through dialysis tubing into the distilled water as, glucose molecules are small, it could fit through the pores of the dialysis tube. It is also because glucose is hydrophillic, (polar compound), which will dissolve in water as it is a polar compound as well.
The presence of glucose in the starch solution was confirmed by the positive result obtained in the dialysis experiment. Starch molecules are too large to pass through the dialysis membrane, while smaller molecules like glucose can diffuse through. This demonstrates the selective permeability of the dialysis membrane.

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.
In the dialysis tubing bag experiment, if glucose and I2KI are present inside the bag, the color of the I2KI solution will turn blue-black due to the reaction of iodine with starch present in the glucose solution. This color change indicates the presence of glucose inside the bag.
Dialysis itself does not directly lower or raise blood sugar levels; however, it can affect blood sugar control in individuals with diabetes. During dialysis, glucose is sometimes present in the dialysate solution, which can lead to fluctuations in blood sugar levels. Additionally, the stress of the dialysis process and changes in fluid balance can impact insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism. Therefore, patients undergoing dialysis should closely monitor their blood sugar levels and adjust their diabetes management accordingly.
Dialysis membranes are typically not permeable to sucrose. Removing sugar from the blood can be dangerous as it can lead to hypoglycemia. Sugar molecules are too large to pass through dialysis membranes.

Dialysis fluid contains essential salts and glucose to maintain osmotic balance and provide nutrients for the body's cells during the dialysis process. The salts help regulate electrolyte levels and prevent imbalances that could occur due to kidney failure. Glucose serves as an energy source for cells, ensuring they remain functional while waste products are removed. This composition mimics the body's natural extracellular fluid, facilitating effective waste removal and nutrient delivery.
Dialysis solution must have the same concentration of glucose as blood plasma to prevent osmotic imbalances that could lead to the movement of water into or out of the blood cells. This balance helps maintain homeostasis and ensures that the patient's cells do not swell or shrink excessively during the dialysis process. Additionally, matching glucose concentrations helps mimic the body's natural environment, promoting effective waste removal without causing harm to the patient's tissues.
