The next day we weighed each sample and took a small piece to look at under the microscope. Again we looked for size and general appearance of the fat cells present. Our control for both parts of the experiment is the same. Essentially all fat cells are disintegrated. Fat is completely gone.
Cells appear completely intact.
Fat is beginning to deteriorate. Has lost much of its form. When we starlet this experiment, we expected the fat to decrease in weight when exposed to both high ant low pHs because it is generally known that high and low pHs are not especially good for the human tissue. Therefore we expected the fat cells to shrink or dissolve and decrease in weight. Moreover we expected this change to fairly constant among the high and low pHs because we expected that high and low pHs would effect the fat equally.
