Q3 Benchmark: Egg Permeability Lab

Submitted by Taylor Valentine on Tue, 03/25/2008 - 13:14.

For this project, we submerged a regular chicken egg in three substances, one of which being ethanoic acid. The other two were our choice. We observed the egg over the course of approximately two weeks, and noted the change in circumference and volume. The purpose of the lab was to see how the selective permeability of the egg membrane affected what substances could enter and leave the egg.

I worked with Sophia Moreno, and the substances we chose were salt water and lemon juice. We had to research the projection models and forulas for each liquid. The lab came out well and we had some unexpected results.
