The germinal disc. The egg is really just a single cell, until it is fertilized. The blastodisc (white spot on top of the yolk) is what will become part of the fetus when fertilized with sperm. Then the fetus feeds off the yolk to continue developing.
The chick grows from both the yellow yolk and albumen (white). The yolk of the egg is the growing medium that feeds the developing chick. The white/clear albumen is also used to hydrate and feed the growing chick.
The actual embryo of the chick forms on the yolk.
Here is a link for you to see the formation of a chick while in the shell.
The germinal disk inside of the egg is the part that will become a chick when the egg is fertilized. This is actually just a single cell located in the egg.
The yolk. The white acts as a shock absorber with the stringy bits (chalaza) holding it in place.
Most of the nutrients are in the yolk but the albumen (white) is also needed for protein and moisture.
inside an egg, the white part provides food for it. the chicken itself grows in the yolk.
It is the yolk that provides the nutrients for an unhatched chick.
The purpose of the yolk in a chicken egg is to feed the chick. It is a store house of nutrients and is rich in protein and fat.That is why the yolk is said to be the unhealthy part of the egg in terms of high cholesterol content for calorie and fat conscious people.
What you see when you crack open an egg is Yolk and albumen, the white and the yellow. This is actually the food for the developing chick when the egg is fertilized and incubated. The chick uses this food for the 21 days it takes to develop. It gets nutrients from the yolk. If you have ever studied the development of an egg you will see what happens. I have seen chicks born out of an incubator with the yolk still attached to their bodies....
The yellow part of an egg is called the 'yolk' and its purpose is to feed the developing embryo (chick).
inside an egg, the white part provides food for it. the chicken itself grows in the yolk.
It is the yolk that provides the nutrients for an unhatched chick.
the chick develops on the edge of the egg yolk (the yellow part) as it grows, the chick absorbs the nutrients from the yolk into it's body as food.
No , the "white" part of the egg is the food of the developing chick
The yolk of the egg is food stored for the chick during its growth.
The purpose of the yolk in a chicken egg is to feed the chick. It is a store house of nutrients and is rich in protein and fat.That is why the yolk is said to be the unhealthy part of the egg in terms of high cholesterol content for calorie and fat conscious people.
The egg yolk nourishes the chick until it hatches.
It keeps it safe while it develops. The yolk is food for the chick.
The part that would have become a chick.
albumin egg white
Yolk is good food containing much of what a chick needs, it is after all what the chick grew from inside the egg.
The embryo, which in a fertilized egg is a tiny speck attached to the yoke sack.
