The artificial cell in the picture below is permeable to monosaccharides but not polysaccharides. Initially, the artificial cell contained a solution of glucose and starch while the beaker was filled with only water. After a period of thirty minutes, the water solution in the beaker tested positive for glucose. What process allowed for this to occur?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Osmosis.

Explanation:

Osmosis is the process which is responsible for the transportation of glucose inside the cell. Osmosis is a process in which micro-molecules such as glucose, ions and gases etc go inside the cell through a semi-permeable membrane. This semi-permeable membrane of the cell only allow monosaccharides but not polysaccharides because monosaccharides is small in size while polysaccharides are larger in size.
