Purpose
Is an egg similar to a human cell?

Hypothesis
If the egg is put in milk, then the shell will grow back. According to Mama Natural, “High-quality eggshells contain 27 essential microelements but they’re mostly composed of calcium carbonate, a form and structure that’s very similar to our bones and teeth.” Also, according to My Plastic Free Life, “eggshell powder contains roughly 400 milligrams of calcium per gram.” Since the milk I use, 2% Fat, has 295 milligrams in one cup, it may start a growth of a new egg shell over 24 hours.

Materials
Two eggs
Two Mugs
4 cups of vinegar
4 cups of water
2 cups of food color water (about 18 drops of food color and 2 cups of water)
4 cups of salt water (about 2 cups of salt and 4 cups of water)
2 cups of milk
2 cups of corn syrup

Put it in a new batch of vinegar and after that, do the same thing you did the last day. After the last vinegar test, put the eggs in one cup of water each. Leave them in for around 24 hours. After they are done, check the circumference and record any differences in the eggs. Then, put the two eggs in one cup of water that is in each mug. Wait 24 more hours and then take the eggs out of their mugs. Take notes on the eggs and then do the same thing you did the last day.
After the last water test, put the eggs in one cup of water each. Let the eggs sit for 24 more hours. Get your food color water ready for the test by getting a cup of water and putting at least 9 drops of food color. Put a cup of the food color water in each of the mugs. Let the eggs sit for 24 hours. Then, take the eggs out and record any notes about the eggs.
Get your salt water ready by mixing a half cup of salt with 1 cup of water for each mug. Put a cup of salt water in each of the mugs. Let the eggs sit for 24 hours. Then, take the eggs out and record any notes about the eggs. Then repeat the process for another

    After soaking the egg in vinegar for a day to remove the shell and not the membrane, I placed the egg in Karo corn syrup because it has a high concentration of dissolved sugar. Although the sugar molecules were too large to pass through the semipermeable membrane of the egg, water molecules were able to exit the egg. After twenty-four hours, the egg had decreased from a mass of 84.1 grams to 47.0 grams due to osmosis. The corn syrup is hypertonic in comparison to the egg and thus the water moved from a high concentration of water in the egg to a lower concentration of water in the syrup in order to reach equilibrium. Subsequently, the corn syrup was diluted in water in order to have an equal concentration of water in the syrup and in the egg itself.…

    Once the egg was decalcified, it felt very fragile and bouncy. When the egg didn’t have a shell anymore, it was kept from seeping out by the “plasma membrane” (egg white), which was congealed by the soaking in vinegar. When the nucleus of the egg became visible, it looked very cloudy. The substance that entered/left the egg in each situation was water, due to the state of the egg, by way of osmosis, in a way of trying to balance the inside and outside the “cell” (egg), this balance is essential to functioning at the preferred isotonic state. This lab could be improved by using 2 different eggs, as the data seemed inaccurate when placing a hypotonic egg into a solution of corn syrup made the egg hypertonic, because there wasn’t a proper start weight in the egg when placed in the second solution.…

    Determining The Process of Photosynthesis And Cellular Respiration Using Elodea and Yeast Introduction Photosynthesis is an essential process to life on earth, in which plants and other organisms use sunlight to create food from oxygen, and carbon dioxide. Cellular respiration is when energy in food is released and converted to ATP, which is then used as chemical energy to complete tasks within a cell. This process usually requires oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are similar in some areas and different in others. The purpose of both of the process is to produce energy, but they have different ways of achieving this goal.…
