Answer:

Egg when soaked in vinegar supports passive transportation.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the egg is soaked in vinegar, the vinegar reacts with the egg and it breaks its outer covering, but the vinegar cannot pass through the cell membrane as it is not in the required size to pass through it, while in the case of water, the water passes through the cell membrane as it is in the required size to pass through it.

Hence, egg when soaked in vinegar supports passive transportation while it supports active transportation when soaked in the water.
