Osmotic Stress

Greetings all, This video is about osmotic stress, and generally all parts of osmosis. I also included an interesting practical experiment with an egg showing osmotic flow. I also eventually tried putting the egg in distilled water, but not much happened, it increased in mass as one would expect, but even after 12h it wasn't up to it's original mass. Here is the DOI for the study I referenced on osmotolerance and osmoadaptation. If you are having trouble locating an accessible copy of the study, let me know. DOI: 10.1111/j.1574-6976.2007.00076.x Have a great week!
