Osmosis

Watch the video [] to observe what will happen to an egg immersed in vinegar. Note the size of the egg at the start of the activity. After a few days, note the size of the egg again. What has happened? How did it happen? Which part of the cell does the egg membrane represent? What process has occurred to cause the change in the size of the egg? After the egg is removed from the vinegar and placed in water again, what do you observe about the size of the egg? Why did that happen?

You can discuss the above questions using the discussion tab on this page after you have watched the video.

 * Osmosis** is the movement o molecules through a selectively permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, aiming to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides[|.] It may also be used to describe a physical process in which any solvent moves, without input of energy, across a semipermeable membrane (permeable to the solvent, but not the solute) separating two solutions of different concentrations. Although osmosis does not require input of energy, it does use kinetic energy and can be made to do wor

Hi everyone, I found two websites which tells you about egg osmosis. Please view them!:) [] [] //By:Randelle Ong// //Hi everybody! Let me tell you something about OSMOSIS. Don't worry if you do not understand(This is not on our syllabus). Osmosis is movement of tiny molecules through the cell membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. For example, if someone cooked chicken in the kitchen, one will be able to smell it later. Why is this so? Because of Osmosis! But in this case we do not call it osmosis, but we call it in another name as osmosis is only for the process in PLANTS.// //Hope you like my bit of information about Osmosis! :)// //By: Isha Wang.//
