Variables: The manipulated variable is the type of solution and the response variable is the increase or decrease in mass. eggWaterBeaker (or plastic cup)Pancake syrupScaleSaran wrap (plastic)Procedure:Day 1Measure the mass of the cup.Measure the mass of the cup + the egg inside.Subtract these masses to get the mass of the egg alone. Record in the data table.Place the raw egg in the vinegar until it is without shell.Take the mass of raw egg without shell.Day 2Remove the vinegar from the cup.Measure the mass of the cup + the egg.Subtract the mass of the cup from the mass of the cup + the egg. Record in the data table. Add the specified amount of solution to the egg and cup. Let the egg and cup sit in the solution over the weekend. Day 3 Remove the solution from the cup. Measure the mass of the cup + the egg.Subtract the mass of the cup from the mass of the cup + the egg. Record in the data table.Observe the increase/decrease in egg mass.Data/Results/Observations:Qualitative data: Table 1: Observation of eggs over a period of three days.Solution Day 1 Day 2 ( After vinegar) Day 3 (After solution)50% Water 50% Sugar One regular egg. The egg is slightly larger than before. The egg is brown and white and is spongy. Analysis Questions: The 100% syrup solution caused the egg to be in a hypertonic solution. The 100% water solution caused the egg to be in a hypotonic solution. The egg placed in the syrup gained a small amount of mass after soaking in the vinegar, because vinegar is 95% water, so the water entered the egg, increasing the mass. The solution of 75% water and 25% sugar was closest to being isotonic.Application: The phrase "structure determines function" applies to what the egg and sperm do. The structure of the egg cell must be larger so that its function (becoming a baby) can be fulfilled. The sperm must be constructed as it is, so that it can easily carry its genetic information to the egg and focus on its goal of getting there. The advantage of having a human survival/reproduction setup like a sperm being nothing and an egg determining everything is that the egg has millions of possibilities of being fertilized by a sperm, the reproduction process therefore has many chances of working.

Get a Custom Essay Conclusion This experiment tested how an aqueous solution and a syrup solution affected the mass of a cell. During the laboratory, the mass of the egg increased or decreased depending on the solution it was placed in. The mass of the eggs increased if there was more water than sugar in the solution and the mass decreased when there was less water than sugar. THE..
