Explanation:
After 15 minutes, we will observe that the egg has grown larger because of the semi-permeability of the egg cell, allowing the water molecules and other small molecules to move in and out of the egg cell.

There will be increased in the size of the egg when it is placed in a pure water in a beaker.
Explanation:
- The concentration of the solute in pure water is very less. However there is a high concentration of solute inside the egg. As a result of this due to the process of Osmosis there will be movement of the water from the beaker to the inside of the egg. As a result of the cell will increase in size. This process is known as endosmosis. This is due to the presence of semi permeable membrane in the egg.
