What will and won't pass through a visking tube?
Cannot pass through visking tubing: sugar starch lactose sucrose Can pass through visking tubing: Iodine Glucose Maltose
What will happen inside a visking tube if you add saliva?
If you add saliva inside a Visking tube, the enzymes in the saliva will begin to break down larger molecules present in the solution into smaller molecules. These smaller molecules will be able to pass through the selectively permeable membrane of the Visking tube, while larger molecules will be left behind, resulting in a process similar to digestion.
What part of body does the water represent in visking tube?
The water in a Visking tube represents the bloodstream in the body. The selective permeability of the Visking membrane simulates the function of capillaries in the body, allowing only certain molecules to pass through, mimicking the exchange of substances between the blood and tissues.
How do molecules pass through the visking tube?
Molecules pass through a visking tube, which is a semi-permeable membrane, based on their size and concentration gradient. Smaller molecules, such as water and glucose, can easily diffuse through the pores of the membrane, while larger molecules, like starch or proteins, cannot. This selective permeability allows for the movement of certain substances while restricting others, facilitating processes such as osmosis and diffusion.
Starch before it enters the Visking tubing?
Starch must be broken down into smaller molecules like glucose before it can enter the Visking tubing, as the tubing only allows smaller molecules to pass through its semi-permeable membrane. This breakdown of starch into glucose is typically achieved through the process of digestion, either by enzymes in the body or by external sources such as amylase. Once the starch is broken down into smaller molecules, it can pass through the Visking tubing via osmosis or diffusion.
Can glucose pass through visking tube?
fine glucose molecules can pass through the wall of the visking tube.
What is a type of tube that is semi-permeable?

How is a visking tube not like a real small intestine?
it is different because widts of the tube and intestine may vary
What is a detailed explanation of how the visking model is good or bad?
can someone tell me what is good about visking tube and whats bad about it asap because i need to give my homework by tmor and my homework relates 2 that
What can you use as alternative to visking tube?
the visking tubing is useless and we need an alternative. can u helpful human beings help please? we are in the middle of a chaotic crisis trying to find the reason for osmosis. please help you kind human beings :) i hate you bye -from the scientists of Mars :
What part of our bodies acts like a visking tube?
You may be thinking of the blood capillaries. Like visking tubing, their walls are able to let substances diffuse in and out. This is also true of the cell membranes. However both of these are much more permeable than visking tubing. The kidney contains semi-permeable membranes which allow urea to pass through but not other substances such as proteins.
How can you use a visking tube to test the hypothesis that osmosis happens faster at higher temperatures?
Put a sucrose solution into the visking tube and fasten the ends, then place it in water (at different temperatures). The varying temperatures would quicken or slow the rate of diffusion (osmosis). Then using iodine, you put some in the water that the visking tube was in and if it turns dark blue/black the more sucrose has diffused. This can be put into a calorimeter to check the intensity for different temps. You should find that the higher the temp. the higher the rate of diffusion (because particles are excited and have more kinetic energy and move more). Hope this helps =) Sana (17 yrs)
What is visking tubing?
Visking tubing is a type of semi-permeable membrane tubing used in dialysis and other separation techniques. It is made from cellulose or other synthetic materials and is used to separate molecules based on their size and charge. The tubing allows small molecules to pass through while retaining larger molecules, making it useful for purification and concentration of biological samples.
Where to find visking tube?
Visking tubes can typically be found at scientific supply companies, online retailers that specialize in laboratory equipment, or possibly at a university or research institution that uses them for experiments.
