the cell actually becomes dehydrated through diffusion, as the cell is trying to reach an equilibrium between its interior environment and its exterior environs.

When a cell is placed in corn syrup, water will move out of the cell through the process of osmosis, causing the cell to shrink and potentially undergo dehydration. This is because the concentration of solutes is higher outside the cell compared to inside, leading to a net movement of water out of the cell.

What is egg osmosis?

Egg osmosis is a demonstration where an egg is soaked in a liquid (like vinegar) to remove its hard outer shell, exposing the semi-permeable membrane underneath. When the egg is then placed in a solution with a different concentration of water (e.g., corn syrup or colored water), osmosis occurs, causing the egg to either shrink or swell as water moves in or out of the egg to reach equilibrium with the surrounding solution.

Does water go from hyper tonic to hypo tonic?

i think the question that you are asking is what is the difference between hyper and hypo tonic. A fluid that has a greater concentration of solutes in comparison to another solution is a hypertonic solution. A hypotonic solution is a fluid that has a lower concentraton of solutes in comparison to another solution.

What happens to albino corn with no chlorophyll?

Albino corn with no chlorophyll will not be able to photosynthesize, resulting in a lack of energy production for the plant. This can lead to stunted growth, poor development, and eventually death if the plant doesn't receive proper care and nutrients. The albino corn may also have a higher susceptibility to environmental stressors due to its lack of chlorophyll.
