    The egg has internal and external membranes between the shell and albumen that provide defense against bacteria. These membranes are surprisingly strong despite being composed of keratin, the same protein in hair. An air space also forms between the membranes as the egg cools after laying, known as the air cell. The air cell is usually found at the larger end of the egg and represents the crater seen at the end of hard-boiled eggs, enlarging as the egg ages.

    ‭2.‬ ‭Internal and external membranes‬


    ‭ ocated‬‭between‬‭the‬‭shell‬‭and‬‭albumen‬‭of‬‭the‬‭egg,‬‭these‬
    L
    ‭two‬ ‭transparent‬ ‭protein‬ ‭membranes‬ ‭give‬ ‭an‬ ‭effective‬
    ‭defense‬‭against‬‭bacterial‬‭invasion.‬‭However,‬‭you‬‭will‬‭find‬
    ‭them‬ ‭unexpectedly‬ ‭strong,‬ ‭If‬ ‭you‬ ‭haul‬ ‭these‬ ‭cloaks.‬
    ‭They're‬ ‭composed‬ ‭incompletely‬ ‭of‬ ‭keratin,‬ ‭a‬ ‭protein‬ ‭in‬
    ‭mortal hair.‬

    ‭3.‬ ‭Air cell‬
    ‭ n‬ ‭air‬ ‭space‬ ‭forms‬ ‭when‬ ‭the‬ ‭contents‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭egg‬‭cool‬‭and‬‭contract‬‭after‬‭laying.‬‭The‬‭air‬‭cell‬‭is‬‭generally‬
    A
    ‭located‬ ‭between‬ ‭the‬ ‭external‬ ‭and‬ ‭inner‬ ‭membranes‬ ‭at‬ ‭the‬ ‭egg's‬ ‭larger‬ ‭end‬ ‭and‬ ‭represents‬ ‭the‬ ‭crater‬
    ‭frequently seen at the end of a hard-boiled egg. The air cell grows as the egg periods.‬
