Question

A de-shelled egg is placed in corn syrup. The egg shrinks in size.
What is the best explanation for this change in size?
O Corn syrup moved into the cell through diffusion because there was more corn syrup outside the cell than inside the cell.
• Water moved into the cell by diffusion because there is more water inside the cell than outside the cell.
o Water moved into the cell by osmosis because the solute concentration was higher inside the cell than outside the cell.
o Water moved out of the cell by osmosis because the solute concentration was higher outside the cell than inside the cell

Answer 1

Answer:

o Water moved out of the cell by osmosis because the solute concentration was higher outside the cell than inside the cell.

Explanation:

Osmosis has always something to do with the movement of water molecules. The more concentrated a solution is, the more water molecules will move out a cell, animal or plant. The more diluted a solution is, the more water molecules will move into the cell, animal or plant from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential down the water potential gradient through a semi-permeable membrane.

Answer 2

Answer:

Water moved out of the cell by osmosis because the solute concentration was higher outside the cell than inside the cell.
