∙ 12y agoThe functional motile gamete is the sperm cell in males and the egg cell in females. These specialized cells are produced during the process of gametogenesis and are responsible for sexual reproduction. The sperm cell is equipped with a tail that allows it to swim towards the egg for fertilization to occur.
A motile gamete is a sperm cell; it is motile because it has a flagellum and it swims around, and it is a gamete because, combined with the non-motile ovum, it can form a zygote and hence a new organism.
Yes, oogamy always involves fertilization between a smaller motile male gamete (sperm) and a larger non-motile female gamete (egg). This difference in size is a key characteristic of oogamy.
Sperm is the type of gamete produced by an antheridium in some organisms, such as algae and bryophytes. It is a small, motile male gamete that fertilizes the egg to form a zygote.
In plants, the male gamete is carried to the female gamete through the pollen tube, which grows from a pollen grain to the ovule. The pollen tube delivers the male gamete to the female gamete for fertilization to occur.
Archaea representatives can be either motile or non-motile depending on the species, while most eubacteria are motile using flagella, pili, or other structures for movement.

The male gamete is called a sperm cell. A uniflagellar sperm cell that is motile is referred to as a spermatozoon, whereas a non-motile sperm cell is called a spermatium. The female gamete is called an egg cell. They are also known as ova (singlular = ovum).

A zoogamete is another term for a planogamete - a motile ciliated gamete found in isogamous plants and green algae.
Sperm cells and egg cells are two types of animal gamete cells. Sperm cells are smaller, motile cells produced by males, while egg cells are larger, non-motile cells produced by females.
The female gamete is most likely bigger than the male gamete because it is the cell that will eventually provide the nutrients for the organism that will begin to grow there. It will start forming into a multicellular organism and therefore needs to be big enough to divide.
In plants, the male gamete is carried to the female gamete through the pollen tube, which grows from a pollen grain to the ovule. The pollen tube delivers the male gamete to the female gamete for fertilization to occur.
The gamete-producing haploid form of the green alga Ulva is known as a zoospore. It is a motile spore that eventually develops into gametes, which will then fuse to form a diploid zygote.
If an organism is motile then it can move. Plants are not motile.
Plasmodium are motile.
Archaea representatives can be either motile or non-motile depending on the species, while most eubacteria are motile using flagella, pili, or other structures for movement.
