The shell of an alligator egg provides a protective barrier that shields the developing embryo from environmental hazards, such as predators and extreme temperatures. Additionally, the shell is semi-permeable, allowing for the exchange of gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide, which is essential for the embryo's respiration. This combination of protection and gas exchange helps ensure the developing alligator has the optimal conditions for growth until it is ready to hatch.

How does a seed gets its nourishment?

Seeds are initially given a small amount of nutrients to survive pre-germinal life, sort of like a chicken fetus has amniotic yolk around it before it hatches. After sprouting, however, the plant uses photosynthesis for nutrition.
