I read here: http://www.edge.org/print/res-detail.php?rid=2762, that it can become transparent if you rub it with hot vaseline. That's how a scientist first observed the early development of a chicken embryo.
Yes, gamma rays are a highly penetrating form of electromagnetic radiation and typically pass through most materials, including an egg.
Eggs have selectively permeable membranes, just like those of cells (they can only allow certain materials or objects to pass through, kind of like a screen door).
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).
Yes, water can diffuse through an egg shell due to its semi-permeable nature, allowing water molecules to pass through small pores in the egg shell. The rate of diffusion will depend on factors such as temperature, concentration gradients, and the thickness of the egg shell.

This is an egg that can be in a shell and out of a shell.

when you crack an egg don't put it straight in the bowl. pass the yolk from shell to shell and eventually the white will be all gone. make sure the yolk doesn't break though or you will have to start agin =]
Actualy the answer is no beacuase if you slowly take apart a shell it'll have plastic see through white stuff and that's the stuff that holds the egg
The semi-permeable nature of an amniotic egg shell allows gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, to pass through, enabling the exchange of respiratory gases for the developing embryo. This is essential for the embryo's survival as it allows for proper respiration. Additionally, the semi-permeability helps regulate the water content within the egg to maintain the optimal environment for embryonic development.
Older eggs lose weight because the egg whites evaporate through the shell. also The loss of moisture through the shell of the egg as they age causes an air bubble in the end of the egg, which is why old eggs float when immersed in a bowl of water.
