Egg Structure and Function Assessment

The video tutorial explains the anatomy of an egg, detailing its main parts: shell, air cell, membrane, albumin, yolk, and cazi. It describes the shell's porous nature, the formation of the air pocket, and the nutritional differences between the albumin and yolk. The video also covers the factors affecting yolk color, the role of cazi, and addresses common concerns like blood spots, emphasizing that they do not indicate an unsafe egg.

What are the main components of an egg?

• Shell, yolk, albumin, cazy, air cell, chalaza

• Shell, air cell, membrane, albumin, yolk, cazy

• Shell, yolk, albumin, air cell, membrane, germinal disc

• Shell, yolk, albumin, air cell, membrane, vitelline membrane

What is the primary function of the egg shell?

• To determine the egg's color

• To allow air and moisture exchange

• To protect the yolk

• To provide nutrients

What happens to the membrane as the egg ages?

• It changes color

• It thickens

• It separates from the shell

• It becomes more porous

What is the main role of the albumin in an egg?

• To add color to the egg

• To protect the yolk

• To provide fat

• To form the air cell

Which part of the egg contains the most protein?

• Membrane

• Albumin

• Shell

• Yolk

What determines the color of the yolk?

• The size of the egg

• The feed given to the hen

• The age of the egg

• The breed of the hen

What is the function of leian in the yolk?

• To provide color

• To emulsify dressings and sauces

• To protect the yolk

• To form the air cell

What are the cazy in an egg?

• Nutritional components of the yolk

• Strands of egg white securing the yolk

• Blood spots in the egg

• Imperfections in the egg

What causes blood spots in an egg?

• A lack of nutrients

• A defect in the shell

• A ruptured blood vessel during formation

• An old egg

Are blood spots in an egg a sign of it being unsafe to eat?

• Yes, they indicate spoilage

• No, they are harmless

• Yes, they indicate contamination

• No, they are a sign of freshness
