no the yolk is what the young chick eats.
The yolk is there to nourish the growing embryo.
Your chicken might have laid that egg so then she can have chicks. Inside that egg is yolk which later turns into a chick.
The yolk of the egg.
it gets it nutrients from the yolk of the egg it gets it nutrients from the yolk of the egg
it gets its food from the yolk
The yolk in an egg is the food for the developing embryo, with the white (or albumen) surrounding it acting to support and protect it from the outside environment. Your average store-bought eggs are unfertilized, so the embryo has not developed and is typically not visible.
There are actually quite a few parts of a chicken egg. The chicken egg includes the embryo on the inside and the shell on the outside.
When you crack open an egg you will see the yellow part called the yolk. The yolk is surrounded by the clear white substance called albumen. As the embryo develops within the shell, it is protected by the albumen.
A fertile chicken egg contains an embryo, which is what grows to become a baby chicken, gradually consuming the egg yolk and the egg white in the process.
The chick embryo grows from about the size of a dot to the actual chick that emerges from the egg.During this period it(the embryo)depends entirely on the yolk and the albumin(the white part)for its nutrition.
Fish develop from eggs that contain a yolk. The yolk (like the yolk of a chicken egg) provides the fish embryo with all the food energy it needs to grow until it hatches.
