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.

What is proven by the result obtained by starch in dialysis?

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.


Will protein diffuse through dialysis tubing?

Yes, protein can diffuse through dialysis tubing due to its small size and ability to pass through the pores of the tubing.

Can oxygen pass through pores of dialysis tubing?

Yes, oxygen molecules are small enough to pass through the pores of dialysis tubing. This allows oxygen to diffuse into the dialysis tubing from a surrounding solution or environment.


What is the result of diffusion and osmosis through nonliving membranes of sac 1 containing 40 percent glucose suspended in distilled water?

In this scenario, the glucose in sac 1 will diffuse out of the sac into the distilled water due to the concentration gradient. However, since distilled water is hypotonic compared to the 40% glucose solution, water molecules will also move into the sac via osmosis to try to balance the concentration inside and outside the sac. This will cause the sac to swell as water moves in, reaching an equilibrium point where the movement of glucose and water is balanced.


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.


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 explains why oxygen molecules diffuse across a cell membrane while glucose molecules do not?

Glucose is too big to pass through.
