Yes, water can pass through an eggshell due to the presence of pores in the shell. The movement of water through the eggshell is known as osmosis, where water molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

How can a egg absorb?

Eggs have semipermeable membranes that allow for the absorption of water and other substances through osmosis. The eggshell is porous, so water and other molecules can pass through it to be absorbed by the egg.


What are the roles of an egg shell and membrane and how do particles pass through?

They're both there for protection. Gasses pass through the shell because it has microscopic holes - too small to pass even water. Gasses pass through the membrane by diffusion (after they devolve).


What caused the egg size to increase while putting it in vinegar?

When an egg is placed in vinegar, the vinegar reacts with the calcium carbonate in the eggshell, causing it to dissolve. As the eggshell dissolves, the egg absorbs water through osmosis, making it swell in size. This increase in size is due to the influx of water into the egg through the now porous eggshell.


What happens to egg when placed in water for 24 hours?

When an egg is placed in water for 24 hours, the water will gradually move through the eggshell via osmosis. This can cause the egg to swell as water enters the egg, making it heavier. The eggshell may also become softer due to the water absorption.

Does a wireless signal pass through water?

No, wireless signals do not pass easily through water as it absorbs and weakens the signal. The signal's strength and speed are greatly reduced when trying to pass through water compared to passing through air. Submerged objects can disrupt the signal even more.


Materials that allow electricity to pass through them also allow water to pass through them is this is right or wrong?

Wrong. Water will pass through paper but low voltage electrity will not. Electricity will pass through copper and other metals, but water will not. Water is a good conductor of electricity but so is steel and copper. However water will not pass through them unless they are in the form of tubing In the UK pipework (Gas and Water) in properties should be earthed to protect against electrocution.
