was molecule shapeability to diffuserate of diffusion.

contains only Lugol’s solution starch solution and Lugol’s solution.

The independent variable in this experiment was molecule sizemolecule colormolecule speed, and the dependent variable

The tubing contains ✔ starch solution Lugol’s solution starch solution and Lugol’s solution. The beaker

Initially, glucose was found only insideoutsideboth inside and outsideneither inside nor outside the dialysis tubing. After 15 minutes, a sample was taken. That sample showed that glucose was found

If a test had been done of the solution inside the dialysis tube, what do you think the results would have been?

Analysis: Both glucose and starchNeither glucose nor starchOnly starch (larger molecules) ✔ Only glucose (smaller molecules) diffused though the semipermeable membrane.

Based on what you learned in the lab, why does your body need to break down starch into glucose?

contains starch solution Lugol’s solution starch solution and Lugol’s solution.

insideoutsideX both inside and outsideneither inside nor outside the dialysis tubing.

Conclusion: Starch has a larger molecule size than glucose. So you can conclude that larger molecules are ✔ lessmoreequally likely than smaller molecules to diffuse across a semipermeable membrane.
