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.
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).
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.
Is starch part of the total sugars?
No, starch is not included in the total sugars as it is a complex carbohydrate made up of long chains of glucose molecules rather than individual sugar units. When testing for total sugars, starch is typically measured separately due to its different structure and nature.
