Answer:

If the membrane were completely permeable, water molecules would move in and protein would move out until both solutions were the same concentration. Since the egg membrane is semi-permeable, water can move in but proteins cannot move out. If a naked egg is placed in the corn syrup the egg will shrink

Answer:

the egg will shrink and shrivel up

Step-by-step explanation:
