What are some layers of a chicken egg?
Here are the layers of a chicken egg, from outside to inside:
1. Shell: The hard, outer layer that protects the egg. It's made mostly of calcium carbonate.
2. Cuticle: A thin, waxy coating on the shell that helps prevent bacteria from entering.
3. Shell Membranes: Two thin membranes just beneath the shell, which help hold the egg's shape and keep moisture in.
4. Air Cell: A small pocket of air located at the wider end of the egg, which forms as the egg cools after being laid.
5. Albumen (Egg White): The clear, viscous liquid that surrounds the yolk. It's mostly water, but also contains proteins and other nutrients.
6. Chalazae: Two twisted, rope-like strands of albumen that anchor the yolk in the center of the egg.
7. Yolk: The yellow, spherical center of the egg, containing fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. It's also where the embryo would develop if the egg were fertilized.
8. Germinal Disc: A small, white spot on the surface of the yolk, which contains the genetic material needed for the embryo to develop.
