Question
if a test had been done of the solution inside the dialysis tube, what do you think the results would have been?○ no glucose would be found because it all moved outside the tubing.○ no glucose would be found because glucose was not placed inside the dialysis tube.○ the glucose would be found because it would reach an equilibrium.
Dialysis tubing is semipermeable, allowing small molecules like glucose to diffuse across it. When glucose is inside the tubing, it will diffuse out, but diffusion continues until the concentration of glucose is equal (in equilibrium) on both sides of the membrane. This means glucose will still be present inside the tubing at equilibrium. The first option is incorrect because glucose does not fully move out, and the second is incorrect because the question implies glucose was initially inside the tubing for the test context.
