Egg Diffusion Lab

          In this Lab we experimented on an egg. We removed the shell by using vinegar to remove when combining the to in a beaker. Later we drained the vinegar out leaving us with the egg. We put the egg in a different beaker increasing the sugar water in it. The mass and circumference of the egg both dropped significantly. The sugar water being the solute and the egg being the solvent they make the solution. 

          A cells Internal environment changes as its external environment changes because  of a process called diffusion. the vinegar increased the the mass and circumference of the egg making it hypotonic. While the water made the egg even bigger do to the solvent gaining while the solute wasn't. The salt decreased the mass and circumference do to the solvent was leaving while the solute was gaining in the process called hypertonic. 
          This lab demonstrates a biological principal by diffusion. Diffusion is a process where cells diffuse making the cell smaller or bigger being hypertonic or hypotonic.
          Fresh veggies are sprinkled with water to help keep the veggies fresh even when they are out of the ground. The water helps diffuse the veggies cells by increasing the solvent, when they would not sprinkle water the solvent would decrease and only have solute. When a road is icy they put salt on it to increase the solute do to there is too much solvent(ice/water).
          Based off of this experiment I would like to experiment what salt would do to a orange overnight or in a week. see if the solute adds to much and the solvent leaves or if the solvent stays and remains the same.
