The egg shrinks because of exosmosis that is removal of water from lower concentration to higher concentration.

Answer:

Explanation:

The cell will shrink due to exosmosis. Deshelled eggs are prepared by placing the egg in dilute HCL acid for 10 hours. Now the egg is covered with only semipermeable membrane. When this is placed in a salt solution (hypertonic solution), exosmosis occurs and the egg shrinks due to loss of water to the surrounding.
