Which of the following describes the location of the indicated substance after dialysis? A. NaCl inside B. glucose outside C. starch outside D. albumin outside E. glucose inside The answer would be B. The NaCl and Glucose would diffuse through the bag into the distilled water, while the colloidal substances remain within the bag...a rather old experiment, but Glucose should not be a colloid. ~B2
