Think about the parts of an egg, and write down why you think it can act as a model of an animal cell. Also write down your predictions of what will happen when you leave an egg in vinegar for three days.20 points! PLEASE HELP!

After the eggshell is gone, a white membrane remains. (It's actually two membranes, but they're held tightly together.) This membrane, like those of human cells, is selectively permeable, and the entire egg can be a model for a single cell.
