IV. Discussion
Observational data were analyzed with a qualitative description, namely describing the
result of experiment and relating them to the relevant theoretical and research bases.
Passive Transport
Passive transport in biology refers to the movement of substances across a cell membrane
without the cell expending energy to facilitate the process. This movement occurs due to
the natural physical properties of molecules and the concentration gradients across the
membrane. Passive transport plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of various
molecules and ions inside and outside of cells.
Osmosis
Osmosis refers to the movement of solvent molecules (usually water) through a selectively
permeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher
solute concentration. This movement occurs to equalize the concentration of solute on

both sides of the membrane. Osmosis is a fundamental concept in biology and chemistry
and plays a crucial role in various natural and artificial processes.
Endomosis
In this process, water flows from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher
solute concentration within a cell or structure, driven by the concentration gradient. This
can lead to swelling or expansion (lisis in animal cell) of the cell or structure as it takes in
water.
V. Conclusions
In this experiment, the egg represents an animal cell, and the water acts as the hypotonic
solution. Osmosis occurs as water molecules move from the area of lower solute
concentration (the water outside the egg) to the area of higher solute concentration (the
egg's contents).As water enters the egg, it creates a pressure against the eggshell, causing
the egg to swell and increase in size. This demonstrates the process of osmosis, where
water moves to balance the concentration of solutes on both sides of the eggshell.
