No because starch is a bigger and a complex compound

Which substance was able to diffuse through the cellophane?

The substance that can diffuse through cellophane is typically small, nonpolar molecules or water. For example, water can pass through cellophane membranes due to its small size and polar nature, while larger molecules like glucose or starch generally cannot. The permeability of cellophane depends on the size and polarity of the molecules involved.


What molecules will move easily across the cell membrane: large proteins, starch, water, or DNA?

Water is the molecule that will move easily across the cell membrane. It can cross the membrane through special channels called aquaporins. Large proteins, starch, and DNA are too large to pass through the membrane without assistance.


Will starch diffuse if so in what direction?

Starch does not readily diffuse through cell membranes due to its large molecular size. However, in a solution, starch can diffuse in a gel-like medium, but this process is generally slow. If starch is placed in a solution with a lower concentration of starch, it may diffuse toward areas of lower concentration, but the movement is limited compared to smaller molecules. Overall, starch diffusion is minimal and highly dependent on the medium and conditions.


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.


Can starch pass through a cell membrane by diffusion?

Within a plant cell, starch is basically stored energy. Starch is composed to cross sugar molecules that are cross linked to form larger chains of sugar molecules that are better for storage. When the need arises, these larger chains are broken down to sugar molecules and are utilized by plant cells to carry out various biological processes. Starch is a large polymeric structure and does not typically pass through cell membranes.

Can Iodine Potassium Iodine when mixed with a starch diffuse through a semipermeable membrane?

No, iodine potassium iodide mixed with starch cannot diffuse through a semipermeable membrane because the starch molecules are too large to pass through the pores of the membrane. Only smaller molecules like iodine will be able to pass through.


Which particles-starch or Lugol's-were able to cross the model cell membrane?

The Lugol's solution particles were able to cross the model cell membrane, while the starch particles were too large to pass through. Starch is a large molecule that cannot diffuse across the membrane, while Lugol's solution contains smaller molecules (iodine and iodide ions) that are able to pass through.


Why don't starch molecules pass through partially permeable membranes?

Starch molecules are too large to pass through the pores of a partially permeable membrane. The size exclusion limit of the membrane restricts the passage of larger molecules like starch while allowing smaller molecules like water to pass through via osmosis.


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.

What substance can defuse across a membrane?

glucose, iodine.. but not starch... its too big so i has to break down into glucose before it can cross the membrane

Starch particles spread evenly through a paper membrane?

This process is known as diffusion, where the starch particles move from an area of higher concentration (the starch solution) to an area of lower concentration (the paper membrane). The movement occurs passively and is driven by the concentration gradient. Over time, the starch particles will continue to spread out until reaching equilibrium across the membrane.


When a mixture of starch and glucose is put into a bag made from partially permeable membrane and is put in a beaker so after 20 minutes what change will take place in the contents of bag?

After 20 minutes, the glucose molecules will diffuse out of the bag through the partially permeable membrane because they are smaller in size than the starch molecules. The starch molecules, being too large to pass through the membrane, will remain inside the bag.
