How does the sperm penetrate the oocyte?

Sperm has enzymes that breakdown the outer coat of the oocyte. It takes many sperm with all their enzymes working together to accomplish this.


Why many sperm cell's needed to fertilize an egg cell?

Many sperm cells are needed to fertilize an egg cell because only one sperm cell can successfully penetrate the egg cell's protective layer and fuse with its nucleus to form a zygote. Competition among the sperm cells ensures that the strongest and healthiest sperm cell is most likely to successfully fertilize the egg.


How many layers of skin do you have to penetrate before you bleed?

Oh, dude, you've got three layers of skin to get through before you hit the good stuff and start bleeding. It's like a fancy cake, but instead of delicious frosting, you get blood. So, yeah, three layers - just deep enough to make you say, "Ouch, that's gonna leave a mark."


How does the structure of the sperm cell relate to its function?

The structure of a sperm cell is tailored to its function of fertilizing an egg. The long tail (flagellum) helps it swim towards the egg, while the streamlined head contains genetic material and enzymes to penetrate the egg. The lack of many organelles reduces weight and energy requirements for efficient movement.


Why is it important that only one sperm cell fertilizes egg cell?

Once the first sperm penetrates the egg, a series of changes take place in the protective layers around the outside of the main part of the egg (oocyte). This process, called the cortical reaction, makes the layers hard and not able to be penetrated by any other sperm. When the sperm's plasma membrane fuses with the egg's plasma membrane, there is a depolarisation of the egg's plasma membrane caused by an influx of sodium ions into the cell. This acts as a temperary barrier (several minutes) to other sperm until the outer vitiline layer of the egg becomes solid!!

How many sprem cells are permitted to penetrate an egg cell?

Only one sperm cell is permitted to penetrate an egg cell during fertilization. This unique event leads to the formation of a zygote, which is the first stage of a new organism's development. Additional sperm cells are blocked from penetrating the egg's protective barrier.

What does a acrosame do?

There is no such thing as an acrosame. An acrosome, however, is a cap-like structure on the head of sperm cells in many animals. The acrosome contains digestive enzymes which break down the outer membrane of the female egg to permit the sperm cell to penetrate (fertilize) the egg.


Why are many layers of clothing better than one layer?

Well for style reasons, layering has always been chic. For warmth reasons if you are going to be somewhere outside or where you don't know how warm or cold it will be you can always remove layers to be comfortable in your environment.

Where do the sperm and egg join together?

This normally happens in fallopian tube. Many sperms are needed to dissolve the outer coat of the egg. Only one can penetrate the egg to fertilize the same.
