Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In your 1st experiment, what material moved from the dialysis bag into the beaker?
A
glucose
B
starch
C
Benedict’s Solution
D
iodine
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Inside the bag was distilled water and iodine. Almost immediately after dipping the bag inside the solution the water mixed with the iodine turned the solution a dark blue color. So, the solution inside the bag moved to the solution inside the beaker which was the starch and glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Glucose and iodine are the substance that exit the dialysis bag.

Detailed explanation-3: -The substance which move out of the dialysis dialysis bag is water molecule or solvent. And the solvent molecules like small molecules ions, amino acid and glucose move into the dialysis bag.

Detailed explanation-4: -The dialysis tube is made of a semipermeable membrane. It’s porous, and so it can allow molecules of smaller size to pass through. The molecules of water, glucose, and iodine are smaller so that they diffuse across the dialysis tube.

Detailed explanation-5: -The dialysis membrane is one of the critical components that determine dialysis performance. These membranes allow only low-molecular-weight molecules, such as sodium, potassium, urea, and creatinine, to pass through while blocking proteins, such as albumin, and other larger molecules.
