  • The starch molecules in the corn syrup are too large to pass through the holes in the egg's membrane.

  • i got a A ,,thank you

  • if corn syrup has more solutes, then the solutes would diffuse into the egg and cause the egg to swell. idk why urs got smaller.

  • God Bless you! You saved me tonight!

  • good LOL the egg looks easily breakable

  • thank you so much i almost got an F on that project

  • Good vid brotha thanks just what i needed to finish my powerpoint

  • WAT KIND OF TEXTBOOK OF U WAS THAT ?

  • I was hoping you'd poke your finger into the swollen egg and pop it when you were bouncing your finger over it.. :DDD

  • /watch?v=RgQRq3RC3l8  Olha o meu

  • well done , the diameter different .

  • Which rate of reaction is faster, Hypotonic or Hypertonic, why? If it depends on the solution its in, how does it depend on it??

    Thanks :)

  • Pop the big one. Please

  • Holy crap you sound like Tobey Mc guire (Spiderman)

  • wow did you forget to use your accent so you decided to start it back up? douche

  • what were the curcumfrances

  • We did that experiment for our Biology class, and our teacher showed us your vid :D! We used distilled water and normal water with sugar, tho. Now I'm watching this part cause it's helping me with the report we have to write about it, so thanks a lot for posting it

  • So has the hypo tonic egg gone through diffusion and the hyper tonic egg has it gone through osmosis? I

  • @MrsZuefle both eggs has gone thru Osmosis. Osmosis is when water moves to places of low concentration from high concentration. Diffusion is like when you drop a sugar cube in water. So instead of water moving around, its the sugar particles. Hypotonic and hypertonic refers to the solution around the egg. With the glass with corn syrup, the corn syrup was hypertonic because corn syrup contains little/no water and the egg was full of water. When it the solution is hypotonic, water moves out of...

  • @MrsZuefle the egg and into the corn syrup solution until reaching equilibrium.

  • 25 points off for being unable to spell the word "brief" and another 35 off for being to stupid to use a spell checker.

  • How is the word "too" spelled, as in "too stupid"?

    35 points back for tolerating comments like this and another 35 for a super, easy-to-understand demonstration of these concepts.

  • Ha ha, you're right. Nothing worse than an anal speller who mizspels everting. I'm just channelling my Microbiology professor, who hit me hard for "S. agalactiae" last week.

  • All points returned and an extra 10 for not being too sensitive, lol.

  • yoyoyo i am PROFRANCIS! your video rocks man

  • @profrancis14 Actually just Francis i like calling myself pro

  • Thanks you really helped me out because I had to write a 2 page essay on my experiment and i still didn't know how to tell which was hypertonic and what was hypotonic.

  • what would happen if you had two more jars one with vinegar and one with alcohol? and add similar egg to each one? what would happen? can you please comment? thank you.

  • Hi, volcano song.

    It would happen the same that happens when you drink to much and feel thirsty the next day... It will also dehidrate the egg.

    By the way, hangover is not just dehidration, it's caused by excess acetaldehide that can't be processed due to lack of B1 vitamin

  • sugar doesn't extract water, it increases the concentration of solutes on one side of the partially permeable membrane(decreasing water concentration) thus water moves from an area of high conc. to an area of low conc (i.e. solution) through the partially permeable membrane (egg membrane) into the solution (corn syrup) through osmosis (special case of diffusion) following a concentration gradient.

  • @1001014

    wait so is the corn syrup hypotonic or hypertonic

  • Somehow, I didn't use those phrases when learning about osmosis. it was long ago.

  • @gumdrops27 hypertonic:)

  • ಠ_ಠ

  • wow..you sound like u really know what ur talkin about, im in 7th grade and we r just now learning about osmosis.. so thanx for the help :)

  • thanks for posting this!! i was supposed to do this for my online nutrition class, but i broke one of my eggs and didnt have time to soak another one before my assignment was due. so i just watched your vid!! thanks man!

  • Your experiment was great! it helped me understand hypertonic and hypotonic solutions. Good job!!

  • Thanks Brendan Lea

  • We did this today in Biology

  • deeeeeeelicious

  • thanks for the demo. I now understand the concept of Hypertonic (greater solute concentration outside and loss of water in the cell) such as a hangover and hypotonic (less solute concentration outside, gain of water in the cell) Ex: feeling bloated? correct me if Im wong. Water needs to go somewhere....

  • Thank you very much to both the creator of this video and to lamstrad for an idea for my 9th grade science fair project. If any of you would either like to see my project when it is completed please contact me and I will have it up by mid May 2009 Thank you again

  • so did ur science projects turn out well? meaning did it get a good grade

  • great experiment, i wish he would have switched the eggs over night to see if the effects could be reversed, and if so would it have caused any damage to the membrane. hummm i think i'll try it.

  • You spelled Brief wrong... interesting experiment, shame that it was only at the end that you mentioned the context of human drinking. Now it seems to me that it would be REALLY interesting to get several eggs, put one in coke, one in gatorade, one in milk etc etc and measure them all before and after and compare changes with the relative suger or water contents of these drinks..

  • Awesome video. Thank you for helping me understand hypertonic/hypotonic solutions.

  • Amen!! Awesome video..

  • wow that's awesome. i really enjoyed it. thanks!
