Egg Lab Day 1

Tuesday November  13th
Simple diffusion involves the movement of molecules such as Oxygen & Carbon Dioxide directly across the lipid bilayer. 
Other molecules, such as Ions need the help of Transport proteins in a process known as Facilitated diffusion.
A special form of diffusion that involves the movement of Water across a membrane is known as Osmosis
After this we answered pre-lab questions and set up the egg lab.  Today's set up just included weighing the egg and placing it into 100 ml of vinegar.

 
We measured 100ml of vinegar
We weighed the Egg
Tomorrow we will see what happened in terms of diffusion.
