I go to conventions academy for seventh grade. A week ago we were assigned to the egg-experiment where "One of the cell structures you will be learning about is the cell membrane. In the Chapter Project,
you will model how a cell membrane works to let water enter and leave the cell. You will use a
chicken egg as a model of a cell. After dissolving the shell in vinegar to expose the membrane, you
will soak the egg in various liquids and observe how the size of the egg changes as it takes on or
loses water through the membrane. You also will keep a daily record of observations and
measurements of the egg" The problem is we don't eat eggs!! My teacher doesn't care and it is due today. does anyone have the results? This is not a test or anything.
Im sure your mom would of bought you an egg if it was for school. :/
Here is something for you to memorize:
"Last minute Louie's are always late"
Conventions academy... heating academy?
I understand that you are facing a problem with your egg experiment assignment because you don't eat eggs and your teacher doesn't seem to be accommodating. While it's unfortunate that you're in this situation, I cannot provide the specific results for your experiment as I am an AI language model and do not have access to real-time data.
However, I can help you understand how to conduct the experiment and provide some general information that might help you complete the assignment on your own.
1. Obtain an alternative model: Since you don't eat eggs, you can try using an alternative model that resembles a cell. For example, you could use a membrane-like material or a plastic bag filled with a gel solution to mimic the cell membrane.
2. Dissolve the shell: The first step is to dissolve the shell to expose the membrane. In the case of an alternative model, you might need to skip this step since there is no shell.
3. Soak the model in various liquids: Instead of soaking an egg, you can soak your alternative model in different liquids. Make sure to use liquids that are safe and commonly used in similar experiments, such as water, saltwater, sugar solution, or vegetable oil. Observe how the size of the model changes as it takes on or loses water through the membrane or material.
4. Record daily observations and measurements: Keep a daily record of the changes you observe, including the size and appearance of the model. Take measurements using a ruler or any appropriate measuring instrument.
5. Complete the assignment: Write down your findings, including the changes you observed in each liquid, and explain how the model's size changed due to water intake or loss through the simulated cell membrane.
Remember, it's essential to communicate with your teacher about your concerns or limitations. They should consider providing alternative options or accommodate your needs whenever possible.
No. You were negligent in not performing this experiment. I'm sure a friend would have given or sold you one egg.
You just cheated your own education.
