What chemicals come out of the acrosome that help the sperm get into the egg?

The acrosome layer of sperm cells contain enzymes to break down the outer layer of the ovum to allow penetration by the sperm cell.


How many sperm cells are necessary to chemically break down the egg cell wall?

Multiple sperm cells are involved in the process of fertilization, but only one sperm cell is needed to penetrate and fertilize the egg cell. Once the sperm cell penetrates the egg, it releases enzymes that break down the egg cell wall, allowing the genetic material of the sperm to enter the egg.


Why is sperm cells made in a part of the body that hangs out?

The Sperm Cells (or Spermatozoa) are the Haploid cells that carry the Paternal DNA. They are made within the Seminiferous Tubules of the Testes (or Testicles) in various stages. The production of healthy sperm is Temerature Sensitive, they have to be kept at around 2 degrees C below the internal body temperature to mature properly. This low temperature is maintained by hanging the testes outside of the body in a structure called the Scrotum. Wearing underwear like Y-fronts or jockyshorts is often advised against in favour of boxer-shorts because the former hold the testes close to the body any keep them warm, increasing the chances of Reduced Fertility.

What are the steps of seed formation?

A tube grows from the pollen down to the egg cells in the bottom of the pistil. Special cells called sperm cells travel down the tube and join the egg cells. This joining of cells is called fertilization. Fertilization is the first step of making a new plant. Each egg or sperm has only half amount of DNA found in other cells. When an egg and sperm join, they make one whole set of DNA. As the days pass , the fertilized egg will grow divide many times and change. the result is a seed with a tiny multicellular plant inside.

What is the role of pollen tube in seeded plant?

The pollen tube serves as a conduit for sperm cells to travel from the pollen grain to the ovule for fertilization in seeded plants. It extends down the style of the pistil to reach the ovule and deliver the sperm cells. Once the sperm cells reach the ovule, they fertilize the egg cell, leading to seed formation.
