This investigation discusses Eggs' Mass in Different Solutions.

Eggs' Mass in Different Solutions Hypothesis Egg 1 in 150 mL of distilled water will undergo cytolosis. Egg 2 in the 0.9% saline solution will undergo plasmolysis. Egg 3 in 150 mL of corn syrup will undergo cytolosis. Egg 4 in 150 mL of fountain water will undergo plasmolysis.

The amount of water was greater inside the egg than out. Therefore, water was diffused out of the egg by plasmolysis. Egg 3 was placed in 150 milliliters of fountain water, a hypotonic solution. It underwent cytolosis by the process of osmosis. All hypotheses were proven incorrect except for the hypothesis for Egg 1.
