Human egg or ovum is about the size of this period .

Ostrich egg about the size of a soft-ball.

Both are single cells but eggs are specialized in that they have the nutrients necessary to begin cell division and make a new organism contained within (once fertilized). Technically the egg is really different parts - the white and the yolk are nutrient sacs and are not necessarily part of the cell. Normal cells can't get that big since they have to get materials in and out.

Although they are still quite small, human egg cells are the only cells that are visible by the naked eye. To see other human cells, one would have to use a microscope or other magnification device. :)

About 100 micrometers- or the diameter of a human hair. Very large for a cell.

The human egg cell is 100 microns...whatever that means. It is visible to the human eye and is the biggest cell in the body by volume.

How is a cell similar to a human being?

In a cell there is a part that has a specific job (nucleus=control center) just like a human (brain=controlls actions of body) __________________________________________________________________ Actually you cant say they are similar but humans are made of cells, trillions of them, and the type of cell is eukaryotic so we are eukaryotes and eukaryote is a type and there is only one other type known and that is the prokaryote which was the first cell.
