How does osmosis occur in an egg cell?
Osmosis occurs in an egg cell if you place it in liquids. If you put it in vinegar, the egg's shell will start to dissolve. Then, you can test osmosis in water or salt water. Because the egg is considered a cell, it will swell the egg cell with plain water (meaning it will increase the egg's mass). With salt water, the egg cell will shrink in mass.
What is egg osmosis?
Egg Osmosis is the process of shrinking and expanding. for (eg): An egg is placed in corn syrup for 60 minutes to show osmosis. The egg is then placed in fresh water to show the reverse effect.
Is an egg influenced by osmosis and diffusion?
An egg is influenced by the osmosis. Below the eggshell is an adjacent semi-permeable membrane. So if you boil an egg and take out the covering and then keep is in sugar solution for some time, it will shrink because of osmosis of water.
When the vinegar absorbed into the egg and caused it to expand This was an example of?
Osmosis. The egg is hypertonic and the vinegar is hypotonic.
What the process of egg cell and sperm cell?
The process when an egg cell and a sperm cell COMBINE is called Fertilization

An egg as an osmosis meter?
Osmosis is the process where water passes into our tissues through a semi-permeable membrane. All of our cells are surrounded by a membrane that selectively allows in anything the cell needs but prevents unwanted molecules from entering. An egg also has a membrane surrounding it so we can use it to represent a cell and see how osmosis works.
What effect does isotonic solution have on an egg?
Considering osmosis- If a hypertonic solution causes water molecules to leave an egg, and a hypotonic solution causes water molecules to enter a egg, an isotonic solution (where inside the egg and outside the egg the solute concentration is equal) water molecules would neither enter, nor leave a cell. I hope this helped :)
What would happen if you put an egg in water for a day?
An egg is a cell, and so water would move from the container of water to inside the egg by a process called osmosis. This is because osmosis involves the movement of water from a high water potential to low water potential until equilibrium is achieved.

Does osmosis occur in a salted egg?
yes
How does the egg soak up the vinegar?
Osmosis
How are diffusion and osmosis similar?
diffusion is to make materials collide and osmosis is when water goes into a material:)for osmosis try the egg expierment!
Osmosis and raw egg and salt?
Osmosis only apply to water, the word your looking for is Diffusion
How do osmosis and dialysis releate to diffusion?
Osmosis is the the diffusion of water or any soluble liquid across a semipermeable membrane such as the outer membrane of a cell. When water moves out of the cell faster then the intake of water, the cell will shrink. This is a hypertonic solution. When the intake is greater than the output, the cell will grow. This is a hypotonic solution. When a balance is achieved, water moving equally in and out of the cell, an isotonic solution is created. Dialysis is when the kidney allows only certain things to DIFFUSE through it. For example, a biology class put an egg in a vinegar solution. This causes the egg to grow because the vinegar was at a higher concentration then the inside of the egg and biology states that it will flow from a high concentration to low concentration. When that same egg is placed in water, the vinegar flows out of the egg because the water was a lower solution of vinegar than the egg. So all of this comes down to the fact that in both osmosis and dialysis, something is being diffused through the cell's semipermeable membrane. If you need a clearer explanation, ask you school's biology teacher(s).
Is salted egg an example of osmosis?
osmosis is demonstrated in the process of making salted egg. eggs are submerged in a brine solution for a period of time. because the egg shell is permeable salt enters. water is also removed from the egg in this process.
