The purpose of this experiment is to see how the functions of an egg relate to an animal cell and also see the effects of the different solutions that are used on the egg during the experiment. Also made a hypothesis on what will happen to cell when it is placed in water by saying it is going to cause the cell to experience osmosis and the altering of the shape of its cell membrane. This was proven wrong because the egg did not alter in shape, all it did was stay the same shape but increase in mass. The answer that was conducted from this experiment was used on a shell-less egg and had to put it through this process of taking its mass before and after each process it had to go through. Such as the shell-less egg had to sit in the water for 30 minutes and after it sat for 30 minutes, the mass was recorded. …show more content…
However, before that a hypothesis was made on what would happen to the egg after sitting in syrup for 24 hours and it was answered by saying that the egg would swell up to where it would be in a hypotonic state. So after the egg sat in the syrup for 24 hours, the egg definitely swelled up into a hypotonic state but it also decreased in mass to where it was less than the initial mass when it sat in the water for 30 minutes. It was concluded that the egg was losing and gaining mass from the process of osmosis and diffusion, which was causing the egg’s cell membrane to alter in shape because the egg was swelling and even shrivelled up during this process. All because of the processes called hypertonic and hypotonic where hypertonic, where hypotonic is a state when the concentration of the solute is lower on the outside of the cell than the inside. Whereas hypertonic is when the concentration of the solute is lower in the inside of the cell than the outside the

Egg Osmosis Lab Report

This lab project was to demonstrate the system of how osmosis and diffusion works. More specifically to examine the movement of how substances flow in and out of the cell membrane. Which was demonstrated by soaking an egg in various liquids with a time table to see how it would affect the egg. The egg can be substituted as the cell membrane. Predictions, observations, and procedures were made. Before the lab procedures can be discussed, Osmosis and other key terms should be mentioned and explained…

Egg Lab

Egg Lab Report The egg lab taught about diffusion, osmosis, and the different types of solutions, hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic. In our lab, we used an egg, a cup, a string, a rubber band, a ruler, a graduated cylinder (100 ml), saran wrap, vinegar, a soap solution, a salt solution, and a corn syrup solution. We measured our egg by wrapping the string around it. Our egg was 13.5 cm. During testing, we found our hypotheses were not always right. Day one of testing, we used vinegar. We thought…
