The Alien Egg Experiment

Hank Green introduces SciShow experiments, focusing on osmosis, a key process in cellular water absorption. Using an egg as a model, he demonstrates how osmosis works by dissolving the egg shell with vinegar, allowing water to permeate the membrane. The egg expands due to water absorption. To reverse this, the egg is placed in corn syrup, causing water to exit the egg, demonstrating osmosis in action.
