A lot bigger. The ovum is 120 µm in diameter and the sperm cell is about 1 µm in diameter (not counting the tail).

What is a sperm or egg?
Sperm and egg cells are gametes, or reproductive cells. The sperm is the male reproductive cell. The egg is the female reproductive cell.
Which is larger the egg cell or the sperm cell?
Egg cells are the biggest: you could only fit one on the head of a pin. But I'm not sure if a sperm cell is bigger than a red blood cell or vice versa.
How does a structure of a sperm differs from normal cell?
A sperm cell is a different shape than a regular body cell. It sort of looks like a lemon with a tail. The main difference the between sperm cells and regular body cells is that sperm cells only have 23 chromosomes compared to the 46 in normal body cells do to undergoing meiosis.
Sperm and ova are gametes?
Both are types of cells. The sperm cell carries the male's genetic contribution. The oocyte is the cell that carries the female's contribution. When the sperm cell meets the oocyte, the result is a fertilized human egg.
What two processes are involved in sexual reproduction?
The two parts of sexual reproduction are the male sex cells (sperm) and the female sex cells (eggs)
What is a sperm or egg?
Sperm and egg cells are gametes, or reproductive cells. The sperm is the male reproductive cell. The egg is the female reproductive cell.
What are the different types of sex cells?
The human gametes are the sperm cell (male) and the egg cell (female). The chromosomes carried by the sperm cell can have two forms, the X cell (female offspring) or the Y cell (male offspring). These combine with the egg cell, which virtually always carries only an X chromosome. So an XX cell would develop as a female, and an XY cell would result in a male offspring.
Which is larger the egg cell or the sperm cell?

Which part of the sperm cell is most involved with penetration of the female sex cells?
The head of the sperm cell contains chromosomes, and at the leading end it has a cap, the ACROSOME, which contains enzymes necessary for the sperm cell to penetrate the female sex cell. Answer- Acrosome
What are the male and the female sex cells?
meiosis results in the production of our specialized sex cell what for male and what for female
What are man sex cells called?
Female sex cells are called eggs. The male sex cell is called sperm.
Is a sperm cell a animal or plant cell?
Sperm cells are animal cells.
What happens during fertiliaztion?
Sperm cells(from male) fertilizes the egg cell(from female)
The term for female sex cell?
Gametes is the term for sex cells and an egg is a women's sex cell, sperm is men's.

What is produced as a result of male sex cells and female sex cell coming together?
Sperm and an egg coming together will produce a living fetus after the sperm (Male sex cell) breaches the egg (Female sex cell)
Sperm and ova are gametes?
Both are types of cells. The sperm cell carries the male's genetic contribution. The oocyte is the cell that carries the female's contribution. When the sperm cell meets the oocyte, the result is a fertilized human egg.
