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.
What else can I help you with?
Are oganic compounds made of sugars or starches?
Sugars and starch are organic compounds. But all organic compounds are not made of sugars and starch.
Does starch break down faster in a hotter temperature?
Yes, starch breaks down faster in hotter temperatures because heat increases the kinetic energy of molecules, causing them to move and collide more rapidly. This increased activity speeds up the enzymatic reactions that break down starch into simpler sugars like glucose.
What enzyme breaks down starch into sugars which are than broken down by the other three enzymes?
starch can be broken down into simple sugars by the enzyme amylase
What are these glucose polymers called?
Starch
What tests show that starch is broken down to sugars?
Amylase enzyme tests can confirm the breakdown of starch to sugars. Benedict's reagent can be used to detect reducing sugars like glucose. Additionally, an iodine test can show the absence of starch by changing color from blue-black to brown.
What can be done to ensure the sugars and amino acids and certain amounts of salts are not remove from the blood by dialysis?
Keep the concentration of these substances in the dialysis fluid same as in the blood, and they won't diffuse out.
What substance sugar or starch is more likely to diffuse through the small intestine and into the blood stream?
Sugars are more likely to diffuse through the small intestine and into the bloodstream compared to starch. This is because sugars, such as glucose and fructose, are simple carbohydrates that can be directly absorbed by the intestinal lining. In contrast, starches are complex carbohydrates that must first be broken down into simpler sugars by enzymes before absorption can occur. As a result, sugars can enter the bloodstream more readily than starches.
Can starch diffuse into the human blood stream without being digested?
No, starch cannot diffuse into the human bloodstream without being digested. Starch is a complex carbohydrate that must first be broken down into simpler sugars, primarily glucose, through the process of digestion. This breakdown occurs in the mouth and small intestine via enzymes like amylase. Only after starch is digested into glucose can it be absorbed into the bloodstream.
Are oganic compounds made of sugars or starches?
Sugars and starch are organic compounds. But all organic compounds are not made of sugars and starch.
How does starch affects amylase?
Amylase breaks starch down into sugars.
Does starch break down faster in a hotter temperature?
Yes, starch breaks down faster in hotter temperatures because heat increases the kinetic energy of molecules, causing them to move and collide more rapidly. This increased activity speeds up the enzymatic reactions that break down starch into simpler sugars like glucose.
Does iodine test for sugars?
Yes, the iodine test can be used to test for the presence of starch, not sugars. Iodine reacts with starch to form a blue-black color, indicating its presence. Sugars typically do not react with iodine in this way.
What enzyme breaks down starch into sugars which are than broken down by the other three enzymes?
starch can be broken down into simple sugars by the enzyme amylase
Which is not a carbohydrate between oil sugar and starch?
Oil is a form of fat or lipid. (Simple) sugars are carbohydrates complex sugars or starch is also a catrbohydrate.
What are these glucose polymers called?
Starch
What are two main groups of carbohydrate?
The two main groups of carbohydrates are starch and sugars.
What does the stomach and intestines digest starch into?
Sugars, (glucose).
