Movement of materials from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration id diffusion. Osmosis is diffusion of water. Tonicity compares the environment inside of a membrane with the outside. When a membrane bound structure has a higher concentration of water on the outside of the membrane than the inside is hypotonic. Hypertonic is when a membrane bound structure has a higher concentration of water on the inside of the membrane than the outside. When something is isotonic the inside of the membrane has the same concentration as the outside of the structure. If water moves from areas of high concentration to low concentration, then an egg in vinegar will be hypotonic because the molecules are moving into the egg. If water from areas of high concentration to low concentration, then an egg in corn syrup will be hypertonic because the molecules are moving out of the egg. If water from areas of high concentration to low concentration, then an egg in water will be hypotonic because the molecules are moving in the egg.
On day one, we put an egg in one-hundred ml of vinegar and placed plastic wrap over top and put a rubber band …show more content…

If water from areas of high concentration to low concentration, then an egg in water will be hypotonic because the molecules are moving in the egg. For each day of the lab my results matched my hypotheses. The tonicities for day one of the lab, with vinegar, were hypotonic. For day two was hypertonic and for day three was hypotonic. Some factors that may have influenced the results might be not measuring correctly or no washing off the egg or graduated cylinder enough and leaving residue
