the visking tubing is useless and we need an alternative. can u helpful human beings help please? we are in the middle of a chaotic crisis trying to find the reason for osmosis. please help you kind human beings :) i hate you bye -from the scientists of Mars :
fine glucose molecules can pass through the wall of the visking tube.

We are interested in increasing our use of alternative energy, and have been considering getting solar panels for our house. Alternative energy tax credits may mean that the cost will be lower when we get a tax rebate after buying solar panels.
No. It's more like a cathode ray tube.

Cannot pass through visking tubing: sugar starch lactose sucrose Can pass through visking tubing: Iodine Glucose Maltose
The water in a Visking tube represents the bloodstream in the body. The selective permeability of the Visking membrane simulates the function of capillaries in the body, allowing only certain molecules to pass through, mimicking the exchange of substances between the blood and tissues.
If you add saliva inside a Visking tube, the enzymes in the saliva will begin to break down larger molecules present in the solution into smaller molecules. These smaller molecules will be able to pass through the selectively permeable membrane of the Visking tube, while larger molecules will be left behind, resulting in a process similar to digestion.
it is different because widts of the tube and intestine may vary
can someone tell me what is good about visking tube and whats bad about it asap because i need to give my homework by tmor and my homework relates 2 that
A Visking tube works through the principle of osmosis, where solutes move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. In the tube, the membrane allows water to pass through while retaining larger solutes inside, facilitating the separation of molecules based on their size.
You can set up two visking tubes with different concentrations of sugar solution inside, placing them in water baths of different temperatures. Measure the rate of diffusion of water into the visking tubes over a set time period and compare the results. If osmosis is faster at higher temperatures, you should observe a greater change in volume in the visking tube at the higher temperature compared to the lower temperature.
Visking tubing is a type of dialysis tubing that is commonly used in laboratories to separate small molecules from large molecules based on their size. It is made from cellulose and has a specified molecular weight cutoff, allowing only molecules below a certain size to pass through the membrane. This method is often used for purifying and concentrating samples in biological experiments.
You may be thinking of the blood capillaries. Like visking tubing, their walls are able to let substances diffuse in and out. This is also true of the cell membranes. However both of these are much more permeable than visking tubing. The kidney contains semi-permeable membranes which allow urea to pass through but not other substances such as proteins.
Visking tubes can typically be found at scientific supply companies, online retailers that specialize in laboratory equipment, or possibly at a university or research institution that uses them for experiments.
