An egg is a cell, and so water would move from the container of water to inside the egg by a process called osmosis. This is because osmosis involves the movement of water from a high water potential to low water potential until equilibrium is achieved.

What do you think would happen to a shell less egg if water passed into the egg though membrane?

If water were to pass into a shell-less egg through the membrane, the egg would likely swell and increase in size due to the influx of water. The osmotic pressure inside the egg would increase, potentially causing the egg to burst if too much water enters. This would be similar to osmosis in cells, where water moves from an area of higher concentration (outside the egg) to an area of lower concentration (inside the egg).

What would happen after 5 minutes when a deshelled raw egg is put in water?

After 5 minutes, a deshelled raw egg in water will absorb water through osmosis, causing the egg to swell and expand. This occurs because the egg's membrane is semipermeable, allowing water to pass through. The egg will increase in size as it continues to absorb water.
