The air cell pocket in a chicken egg serves as a reservoir of air that provides the developing embryo with oxygen as it grows. It forms as moisture and air seep through the porous shell during incubation, creating a space at the larger end of the egg. This pocket also helps regulate temperature and humidity, which are crucial for proper development. As the embryo develops and consumes the yolk, it relies on the air cell for respiration before hatching.

What purpose does the air cell serve on a egg and how does the air cell help the reproduction of an embryo.Does the air cell provide oxygen for the embryo or what?

Just before hatching begins, the air cell expands to approximately 30% of the internal volume of the egg. As hatching begins, the beak of the embryo penetrates the inner shell membrane where it forms the inner wall of the air cell. The lungs begin to function, inhaling the air from the air cell.


What does a chicken egg air sack do?

egg+sperm =fertilised and start divide. In warm environment means the eggs were not kept in the right temperature. Cell division continue, taking its nutrition from the egg until become full chicken then start breathing, using the air inside the sac until it is able to break the shell and uses outside air


Why is there a space at the end of a chicken's egg?

This space is the reserve air that a developing chick will use just before hatching. As the chick peeps the inner membrane of the shell on day 21, that small amount of air will sustain it until it can open a hole in the outer membrane and hard shell.
