Starch molecules are too large to pass through cell membranes and be utilized for energy in the body, whereas glucose is a simple sugar that can be readily absorbed and used for cellular processes. Therefore, starch would not be an effective substitute for glucose in saline solutions intended for medical purposes.

What system gets glucose into the blood?
the system that gets glucose into the blood is digestive system this question came up on my science homework and i am in year 8: this is the question: oh sorry i seriously cant be bothered
Why cant salt water be used to water crops?
It is not wise to irrigate crops using seawater. Sea water is very saline and it can kill the plants after a period of prolonged usage.
Which two factors of the molecule determine whether or not it can cross the membrane?
size and shape. cell membranes are selectively permeable, so only some molecules can get through. (i.e. water can go through, but starch cant) Polarity and size.

Will Changing the polarity of a vacuum cleaner's plug cause it to blow instead of suck?
No. you cant change it's polarity because electrical current that a house uses is not a + - type, it changes it's polarity 50 times per second.
Can glucose enter the membrane?
yes it can, but other sugars that are more complex like cellulose or starch cant
Why cant plants produce sugar over night?
In the the night time there is no sun, hence no light. During the day a plant will use chloroplasts to make glucose, which is then stored as plant starch. When there is no sun for an extended period of time a plant can get energy from tubers. A tuber is a modified plant structure, under ground, where it can store excess glucose. (sugar is basically the same as glucose)
How fast can you run iv 0.25 percent saline?
Usually you cant run 0.25% saline at any rate since its extremely hypotonic so you need to add some dextrose to increase the tonicity
Is glucose c better for you than sugar?
Well glucose IS a type of sugar, so you really cant answer that question.
What is the relationship of starch production to light exposure?
There is no sun so photosynthsis cant be performed.
Can you digest starch?
Pepsin does not digest. It breaks down proteins into amino acids. Pepsin cannot break down starch. This is probably because the pH of starch is higher than the optimum pH of Pepsin.
How do you produce Synthetic glucose from air water light and oxygen?
you cant
Can someone with glucose intolerance have sugar alcohol?
Glucose is sugar ... Intolerance means your body cant handle it ... So ima have to say ... NO ...
Why cant glucose be able to move across a cell membrane by simple diffusion?
Glucose is a large and polar molecule, which makes it difficult to pass through the hydrophobic interior of the cell membrane. As a result, glucose requires specific transporter proteins to facilitate its movement across the membrane.
Can you use mint sauce instead of fresh mint?
no you cant
How much glucose makes 1 gram sugar?
Glucose is, actually, a simple aldosic monosaccharide found in plants. Table sugar is also called sucrose and sucrose is made up of two glucose molecules.
What food group do onions go into?
Vegetable but if your talking about protein and sugar and starch and stuff then I am afraid I cant help you hope it helps :)
