At equilibrium At the start of dialysis 4. Dialysis tubing acts like a semipermeable membrane and is typically used for dialysis of the kidneys in order to filter small dissolved particles from large ones. The diagram to the right shows a section of dialysis tubing tied off at each end, filled with a starch and glucose solution, and submerged in distilled water over time. Dialysis Bag Distilled water Solution of glucose and starch a. How are starch and glucose molecules different? [1] b. Which molecule would you hypothesize reaches equilibrium, as shown in the diagram? Explain your choice. [2] c. How would you test for this molecule in the surrounding solution to prove your hypothesis?
