This set of Poultry Products Processing Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Structure of Egg”.
1. Identify the part in the egg structure.
a) Egg shell
b) Egg yolk
c) Egg membrane
d) Egg white
View Answer
Explanation: Eggshell is made of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) crystals. It is a semipermeable membrane. Both the air and moisture can be pass through its crystal pores. The shell has a thin outermost coating called the bloom.
2. Identify the part in the egg structure.
a) Egg shell
b) Exterior albumen
c) Egg membrane
d) Egg white
View Answer
Explanation: Egg white is the clear liquid which is present within an egg. In chickens it is formed from the layers of secretions of the anterior section. It forms around fertilized or unfertilized egg yolks. It helps in the growth of the yolk.
3. Identify the part in the egg structure.
a) Egg shell
b) Exterior albumen
c) Egg membrane
d) Middle albumen
View Answer
Explanation: The egg white is known as the albumen. Four alternating layers of thick and thin albumen contain nearly 40 different proteins. The main components of the egg is egg albumen white in addition to water.
4. Identify the part in the egg structure.
a) Egg shell
b) Exterior albumen
c) Egg membrane
d) Chalaza
View Answer
Explanation: The chalazae are a pair of spring like structures present on both sides egg yolk. It acts as a balancer which maintains the yolk in a steady position in the laid egg. The chalaza suspends the nucellus within the larger structure.
5. Identify the part in the egg structure.
a) Egg yolk
b) Exterior albumen
c) Egg membrane
d) Chalaza
View Answer
Explanation: Egg yolks are the yellow in color which is present at the center of an egg. They contain high levels of cholesterol. It provides a range of vital nutrients and health benefits. Eggs are nutrient dense food.
6. Identify the part in the egg structure.
a) Egg yolk
b) Germinal disk
c) Egg membrane
d) Chalaza
View Answer
Explanation: Germinal disk is a small, circular, white spot on the surface of the yolk. It is where the sperm enters the egg. The embryo develops from this disk and gradually sends blood vessels into the yolk.
7. Identify the part in the egg structure.
a) Air cell
b) Germinal disk
c) Egg membrane
d) Chalaza
View Answer
Explanation: An air space forms when the contents of the egg cool and contract after the egg is laid. The air cell usually rests between the outer and inner membranes at the larger end of the egg. The air cell grows larger as an egg ages.
8. What is the function of the air space egg?
a) Respiration and pressure adjustments
b) Acts as nutrient membrane
c) Stabilizes the egg membrane
d) Stabilizes the chalaza
View Answer
Explanation: The air sac is the space at the rounded end. It helps in the functioning of the respiration and pressure adjustments. The membrane is attached to the embryo and functions to remove soluble, insoluble and gaseous waste products.
9. The outer membrane of the shell is more resistant than the inner membrane of the shell.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: The shell consists of outer and an inner shell membrane. The outer membrane of the shell is more resistant than the inner membrane of the shell. A colorless wax membrane called the cuticle is present on the outer shell.
10. The age of an egg affects the air cell present in the egg.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: At the blunt end of the egg, the outer and the inner shell membrane are split and the air cell is formed. The age of an egg affects the air cell present in the egg as the water continuously evaporates from the egg during storage.
