Question

Why de-shelled egg shrinks in salt solution but shelled egg does not ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Eggs are covered with a semi-permeable membrane, which allows water molecules to pass through. When you put a de-shelled egg into a salt water solution, water molecules pass from the egg, through this membrane, into the salt water solution … ... Since the egg is losing water, it will shrink.

Answer 2

The shelled egg has a coating of calcium carbonate on it in the form of the shell.

Hence, the water does not reach the cell.

Whereas, A de-shelled egg is more vulnerable to water. After water reaches the egg plasmolysis occurs in which water moves out from the egg cells into the salt solution.
