Diffusion & Osmosis
with an Egg Cell
Vocabulary
•
Diffusion: The movement of molecules in a solution
from areas of high concentration to one of lower
concentration
Ex. Glass of water and colored dye
•
Osmosis: The diffusion of water molecules through a
selectively permeable membrane from an area of
higher water concentration to an area of lower water
concentration
Ex. Distilled water and salt water
•
Selectively Permeable Membrane: A membrane that
allows only certain materials to pass through it by
diffusion
Vocabulary
• Solute: Dissolved in another substance known
as a solvent
Ex. Salt
• Solvent: A liquid that dissolves a solute
resulting in a solution
• Ex. Water
• Solution: A mixture of solutes and a solvent
• Ex: Salt Water
Hypertonic
• Hypertonic solution: Greater
concentration of solutes (ex. salts)
outside the cell than inside the cell.
Osmosis causes water to move out of the
cell causing the cell to shrink
Hypotonic
• Hypotonic solution: Greater
concentration of solutes inside the cell
than outside the cell. Osmosis causes
water to move into the cell causing the
cell to expand
Isotonic
• Isotonic solution: Solute concentration
inside and outside the cell are equal
LAB – Day 1
• Removing the Shell on your Eggs
– Place 4 eggs in vinegar and allow to sit over
the weekend
– Read through methods for next week, make
predictions and answer questions, and decide
upon a fourth solution
LAB – Day 2
• Observations & Measurements
– Qualitative Observations
– Initial Circumference of Eggs (cm)
– Initial Mass of Eggs (grams)
• Place in One of Four Solutions
– Record volume of each solution
– Gently place one egg in each
solution and allow to sit overnight
LAB – Day 3
• Observations & Measurements

Final Circumference of Eggs (cm)
Final Mass of Eggs (grams)
Final Volume of Solutions (mL)
• Wrap-up
– Dispose of eggs and clean plastic
cups
– Answer questions in lab notebook
