    • Air sac

    • Germinal spot

    • Chalaza

    • Yolk

    • Albumen

    • Shell

    • Inner membrane

    • Outer membrane

    Correct Answer
    A. Air sac
    Explanation
    The correct answer is the air sac. The air sac is a small pocket of air located at the blunt end of the egg. It acts as a cushion to protect the developing embryo and provides a space for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide during incubation.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    What is a chalaza?

    • The chalaza is a twisted, cordlike structure that anchors the yolk into the center of the egg for protection

    • The chalaza is the part of the egg closest to the shell and it protects the thick white in a high quality egg.

    • It’s the empty space between the inner membrane albumen and shell.

    • It's the outer part of the egg made up of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) crystals.

    Correct Answer
    A. The chalaza is a twisted, cordlike structure that anchors the yolk into the center of the egg for protection
    Explanation
    The chalaza is a twisted, cordlike structure that anchors the yolk into the center of the egg for protection. This structure helps to keep the yolk in place and prevent it from moving around inside the egg. By anchoring the yolk, the chalaza helps to protect the yolk from damage and maintain its position for proper development.

    What is the outer membrane of the egg?

    • The outer membrane is between the hard shell and the inner membrane. It is the first protective layer inside the shell.

    • The outer membrane holds in the albumen and creates the air sac.

    • It is the major source of riboflavin and protein.

    • It serves as the egg's major source of vitamins, minerals, and fat.

    Correct Answer
    A. The outer membrane is between the hard shell and the inner membrane. It is the first protective layer inside the shell.
    Explanation
    The outer membrane of the egg is located between the hard shell and the inner membrane. It acts as the first protective layer inside the shell, providing a barrier against external contaminants.

    Correct Answer
    A. Shell
    Explanation
    The diagram provided shows different parts of an egg, and the question asks to identify part #1. Part #1 in the diagram corresponds to the shell of the egg. The shell is the hard outer covering of the egg that provides protection.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    What structure is equivalent to about 67% of the liquid weight of the egg?

    • The albumen.

    • The chalaza.

    • The yolk.

    • The air sac.

    Correct Answer
    A. The albumen.
    Explanation
    The albumen, also known as the egg white, is the structure that is equivalent to about 67% of the liquid weight of the egg. It is a clear liquid that surrounds the yolk and provides nutrients and protection to the developing embryo. The albumen is rich in proteins and water, making up a significant portion of the egg's weight. The chalaza is a twisted, rope-like structure that anchors the yolk in the center of the egg, while the yolk itself is the yellow, nutrient-rich part of the egg. The air sac is a small pocket of air located at the rounded end of the egg.

    Correct Answer
    A. Germinal spot
    Explanation
    The correct answer for part #3 is the Germinal spot. The Germinal spot is a small, white spot on the surface of the yolk. It is the site where the sperm enters the egg and fertilization occurs.

    What is a cell?

    • A cell is the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism (living things). A living thing: an organism-a living thing that can reproduce more of its own kind.

    • A cell is the smallest atom of a living thing.

    • A cell is the smallest molecule of a living thing.

    • A cell can be living or non-living.

    Correct Answer
    A. A cell is the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism (living things). A living thing: an organism-a living thing that can reproduce more of its own kind.
    Explanation
    A cell is the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism (living things). It is the basic building block of life, responsible for carrying out all the necessary functions for the organism's survival. Cells can vary in size and shape, but they all have certain characteristics in common, such as a cell membrane, genetic material, and the ability to reproduce. Without cells, living organisms would not be able to function and sustain life.

    What is an egg?

    • A cell.

    • A microscopic organism

    • An atom

    • A molecule

    Correct Answer
    A. A cell.
    Explanation
    An egg is a cell because it is the reproductive structure produced by female organisms, including birds, reptiles, and mammals. It contains genetic material and nutrients necessary for the development of a new individual. The other options, such as a microscopic organism, an atom, or a molecule, do not accurately describe what an egg is.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    The eggshell covered with as many as 17,000 tiny pores. What are these pores used for?

    • Air and moisture can be exchanged and pass through the shell pores.

    • The pores are used to help the chick breathe.

    • As the chick grows inside the egg, the fluids it produces are released through the pores.

    • The pores help the egg shell grow and expand with the size of the chick

    Correct Answer
    A. Air and moisture can be exchanged and pass through the shell pores.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that the pores on the eggshell are used for air and moisture exchange. These tiny pores allow for the exchange of gases and water vapor between the inside and outside of the egg, ensuring that the developing chick has enough oxygen and that waste gases can be removed. Additionally, the pores also help regulate the moisture levels inside the egg, preventing the buildup of excess moisture that could harm the developing chick.

  • 15. 

    What is the function of the inner membrane of an egg?

    • The inner membrane holds in the albumen and creates the air sac

    • The inner membrane is the first protective layer inside the shell.

    • It is the major source of riboflavin and protein.

    • It serves as the egg's major source of vitamins, minerals, and fat.

    Correct Answer
    A. The inner membrane holds in the albumen and creates the air sac
    Explanation
    The inner membrane of an egg serves the function of holding in the albumen, which is the egg white, and creating the air sac. This membrane acts as a protective layer inside the egg shell and helps to keep the albumen intact. Additionally, it creates the air sac, which is important for the development of the embryo inside the egg.
