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

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

Starch molecules are too large to pass through the tubing into the beaker. Which errors could have caused starch to appear in the beaker despite this fact? Check all possible errors.

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

inside✔ outsideboth 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.

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