An egg is a cell, and so water would move from the container of water to inside the egg by a process called osmosis. This is because osmosis involves the movement of water from a high water potential to low water potential until equilibrium is achieved.

Would a hardboiled egg float best in regular water salt water or sugar water?
An egg floats better in salt water than sugar water due to one simple reason. Because the salt water has more density. This increased level of density results in more upward push upon the egg.
What happens when you put a egg in salt water?
The egg should have its water or substance in the egg come out through the cell membrane. :)
What happens when you put a raw egg in water?
If the shell is still on not much will happen as an eggshell is basically impermeable. However, if the shell is removed by soaking in vinegar or other weak acid and the selectively permeable membrane beneath is uncovered, water will exit the egg causing it to shrink assuming the concentration of solute (salt in this case) is higher outside of the egg than inside the egg initially. This movement of water is caused by osmosis. Osmosis is the natural tendency for water to move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration across a selectively permeable membrane requiring only the kinetic energy available in the molecules. If the concentration of solute is higher outside of the egg, by consequence the concentration of water will be lower and the water will exit the egg, moving to the area of lower concentration until the concentration of water is equal both inside and outside the egg.
Is an egg permeable to water?
Yes an egg is
How does salt in water affect the boiancy of an egg?
as the salt dissolves in the water the water becomes more dense, so the egg will be more buoyant. (at least you tried to spell it correctly)
What would happen if the hormone did not have their peak just before day 14?
The ovary would not release the egg, i.e. ovulation would not happen. the egg would not be released into the fallopian tube
What would happen if an egg is placed in a cup of warm tap water?
the egg will sinks in the cup of warm tap water.
What will happen if a egg went in to salt water?
If the egg was raw then the inside would shrivel up due to osmosis.
WHAT would happen if boiled egg is placed in water?
A previously boiled egg (unshelled) would simply be heated up and become a very hard boiled egg.
What would happen after 5 minutes when a deshelled raw egg is put in water?
It is an isotonic solution. That's why there is no change in egg.
What happens to the egg of mosquito on day 1?
It wouldn't hatch yet it would just be there and you would have to wait for the next day for anything to happen
What would happen if a raw egg and a boiled egg after removing the shell are placed in water?
The egg becomes aware that his environment has drastically change and then will proceed to change its form from a freaky alien child to an egg yolk in water of course.
If you take eggs from fresh water and put into salt water what would happen?
The babies will probably die in the egg and never hatch. If the egg hatches, the baby fish will be born dead or die on impact with what would be "alien" water to them.
What will happen if i put a egg in water?
it will get wet
What happens to an egg when placed into sparkling water?
Nothing will happen to a a raw egg when placed into sparkling water.
What happens during the menstrual cycle if the hormone levels do not have their peak by day 14?
ovulation would not happen
