Cells Study Guide

This egg just came out of the corn syrup. Why does it look this way?

- The concentration of the corn syrup was higher than the fluid in the egg, so fluid passed through
the permeable membrane into the corn syrup.

This is the same egg as above, but this was taken after it was put back into regular water. Why did it
plump back up?

- The concentration in the egg was greater than the water in the cup. Through osmosis, the water
in the cup moved through the permeable membrane into the egg.
