what happens to a cell when it's placed in a hypotonic solution versus a hypertonic solution that has a lower concentration solutes dissolve substances compared to the inside environment of a cell example water is considered a hypotonic solution since it is very low and saw it's a hypertonic solution is a solution that has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the cells inside environment for example water with a lot of is considered a hypertonic solution since it is very high and solutes can we examine the effects of a hypertonic solution on cell might be thinking I made out of 50 to 70 trillion cells if I drink this I know what happens to cells in hypertonic solution but do not do that drinking salt water can be very dangerous as a severely dehydrates you nausea vomiting and even hallucinations are just a few symptoms of drinking massive amounts of a ladder which is unlikely because people died due to kidney failure she's too smart to try your older brother that was a bad Xperia what's a better way to test how cell reacts when placed in hypertonic solution some eggs like chicken eggs are surrounded by a hard outer membrane which protects the semipermeable inner membrane this membrane is semi tell me about because it allows some substances to enter in particular the semipermeable membrane allows water to enter like salt or sugar are too big to pass through the question is how can I examine the semipermeable qualities of the inner membrane with a hard egg shell in the way dissolve the outer shell by placing an egg in vinegar vinegar has a chemical called acetic acid eggshells contain calcium carbonate when calcium carbonate in the eggshell comes in contact with acetic acid a chemical reaction occurs calcium carbonate will break down to form carbon dioxide water and calcium acetate dissolving the calcium carbonate shell within seconds to see Bubba Farm bubbles are carbon dioxide that are produced when acetic acid breaks down the eggshell  within 3 you should have a semipermeable membrane free of the hard outer shell to conduct your experiment first starting experiment wheel first Master at using the scale has a mass of 94 G has a of 103g egg a we will place in hypotonic solution water in a hypertonic solution corn syrup a gay now has a mass of 97 fake a crease slightly to 103% of its original weight we can conclude on a semipermeable cell is in a hypotonic solution water will enter the cell now has a mass of 59 G it be decreased to 57% of its original we can definitely conclude that when a cell is in a hypertonic solution water will leave the cell and fax this is evident by the layer of water sitting on top are the corn syrup over 103 percent change in mass is not very significant so how about we try this again that's which of the eggs turn a gay is going in the hypertonic solution which is Dylan the right AV is going in the hypotonic solution which is still on the left after several hours Mash your eggs again from 97 to 55 G play has decreased to 57% of its original weight egbe went from 59 G to a whopping 105 G he has increased in weight to a hundred 77% from this experiment we can definitely conclude that one a cells in hypotonic solution like water enters a cell on the other hand when a cell is in a hypertonic solution like corn syrup but more realistically saltwater water will leave the cell now that you're done with this experiment time to play with those shell with eggs
