…order to make the solution isotonic, more salt had to be added. Egg 3 was placed in a hypertonic solution of 150 milliliters of corn syrup. 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.
