Soulton tonicity is a state of normal Firmness or functional readiness of body tissue or organs. Hypertonic solutions have a lower concentration rate so water moves into the cell causing swelling. Hypotonic solutions have a higher concentration rate so water is released causing the cell to shrink.
The structure of a chicken egg is a biological structure intended by nature for reproduction. It protects and provides a complete diet for the developing embryo, and serves as the principal source of food for the first few days of the chick's life. The egg is also one of the most nutritious and versatile of human foods.
The mass of the chicken egg before we put the hypertonic or hypotonic solution in it was 92.6.
The concentrations of the hypertonic solution was: 20% NaCL: (20g NaCl + 80g DI water)*2. The concentration of the hypo solution is: 0% NaCL: 200ml Di Water.
I'm thinking that if you add hypertonic solution to the egg that the egg with get bigger/expand. But if you put hypotonic solution to the egg the egg will get smaller/shrink.
The egg mass after being in the hypertonic solution for a day was 94.2
The egg mass after being in the hypotonic solution for a day was 88.6
After the experiment and evaluating our prediction we found out that our prediction was right. We said that adding hypertonic solution will make the egg bigger/expand and that's exactly what it did. Because it started at 92.6 and ended with 94.2.And we said that adding hypotonic solution will make the egg smaller/shrink and that also happened. Because it started with 92.6 and it went to 88.6.
