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 else can I help you with?
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
How does visking tube work?
A Visking tube works through the principle of osmosis, where solutes move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. In the tube, the membrane allows water to pass through while retaining larger solutes inside, facilitating the separation of molecules based on their size.
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.
What happen when you placed a lightened match near the mouth of the test tube?
its obvious that the chemical reaction of the match sets the stick of wood on fire but if you put it in a test tube full of water it will reach its full potential of burning and simply go out the is written by Jesse page
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?
visking tubing

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 :
Give example of visking tube?
A Visking tube, also known as dialysis tubing, is a semi-permeable membrane often used in experiments to demonstrate osmosis and diffusion. For example, in a classroom setting, a Visking tube can be filled with a sugar solution and submerged in plain water. Over time, water molecules will move into the tube through the membrane, causing the sugar solution to become more dilute and illustrating the principles of osmosis. This setup effectively shows how substances can move across selectively permeable membranes.
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 happen when you placed a lighted match near the mouth of the test tube?
It depends on what is inside the test tube. If the test tube is empty nothing will happen, if there is petrol in the test tube the petrol will ignite.
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.
