EGG-SPERIMENTWe are starting a new experiment today!

• When we look at eggs placed in vinegar…• The vinegar produced gas bubbles

dissolved egg shell• All that we’re left with is a membrane!

EGG-SPERIMENT Prelab1. What does the cell membrane do?Controls what moves in and out of the cell2. What are 2 vocabulary words you should

associate with the cell membrane?Selectively permeable Homeostasis

EGG-SPERIMENT

This experiment will let you see how

the cell membrane can be selectively

permeable to different solutions (corn

syrup, water) to maintain homeostasis!

EGG-SPERIMENT

Scientific Question:

How does the weight of the egg

change when it is placed in different

solutions (corn syrup, distilled water)?

HYPOTHESIS: (IF… THEN…)1. If the egg is placed in water then….

2. If the egg is placed in corn syrup then…Hypothesis: Three things could happen when the egg is in corn syrup or distilled water:- Weight increases - Weight decreases- Weight stays the same What do you think is going to happen?Weight decrease in corn syrupWeight of the egg will increase in distilled waterWeight will stay the same in both corn syrup or waterWeight of the egg will increase in distilled water

EGG-SPERIMENT DO NOT WRITE YET!!

Listen to what you’ll be doing…

Variables and Procedures

1) Today we are going to take the INITIAL weight of the egg BEFORE we put it in any type of solution

2) Today we are going to put our eggs in different solutions:

- corn syrup - distilled water

eggs out. We’re going to take the FINAL weight in corn syrup and distilled water.

SAFETY!!

Wear gloves

No horse play.

Please handle your eggs VERY GENTLY!

REMINDER… Headphones/electronics in lab = 0 on your lab report. You will have to make up that grade in coach class.

WHAT’S GOING ON?To understand what’s going on in the egg-

speriment, we have to learn about 3 types of solutions and remember what we learned about diffusion

EXIT SLIPIn this picture, the small black dots are the SOLUTE. The SOLVENT is water. Assume that the cell membrane is selectively permeable to WATER ONLY!

QUESTIONS: 1) Is there a greater amount of solute inside the cell or outside the cell?2) Is there a greater amount of solvent inside the cell or outside the cell?

3) Will water move into the cell or out of the cell?4) Will the cell shrink in mass, increase in mass, or have no change in mass?5) BONUS Is this cell in a hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic type of solution?
