Answer to Question #115788 in Molecular Biology for Kiana

Question

1. Mang Nestor has a poultry farm. Every morning, he collects eggs and sell it in the market. Those are unsold, he made it as salted egg. In doing this, the eggs were soaked in a container having one liter of water with 1 kg dissolved salt solution. After 18 days, Mang Nestor collected salted eggs for his everyday consumption. What transport mechanism/concepts can be applied in salted egg making? Explain

Answer 1

The transport mechanism is diffusion. The salt water moved from an area of higher concetration outside the egg to an area of lower concetration outside the egg. It eventually caused the concentration of salt water molecules to be the same throughout the space they occupied, causing a state of equilibrium to exist.
