Based on this experiment, which of the following should be inferred about cells with semipermeable membranes?
The eggs were first soaked in vinegar to dissolve the shell. The eggs were then transferred to corn syrup for 24 hours and then to distilled water for 24 hours. The mass of each egg was measured before and after each soaking to determine how much water diffused into or out of the eggs. The table below shows the average mass of the eggs at each step of the investigation:
Question: Based on this experiment, which of the following should be inferred about cells with semipermeable membranes?

Water flows into the direction of the lowest water potential.
Active transport is ATP-independent.
Osmosis requires impermeable membranes.
