Answer to Question 1

Egg whites make a stable foam when beaten because of the proteins and stabilizer in eggs. Conalbumin and ovalbumin supply the majority of protein for the foam, and ovomucin is the foam stabilizer in egg whites.

Answer to Question 2

After the egg is laid, moisture and CO2 are lost through the pores of the shell. The characteristics of a deteriorated egg include a pH of 9.0-9.7, large air cell, and low levels of CO2 . When cooked, the deteriorated egg will be flatter and have a thinner albumen over the yolk, more ragged edges of egg white, and an off-centered yolk.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
