sperm head= contains DNA; also has acrosome (an enzyme to digest the membrane of the ovum) aids in egg penetration.
An ovum is typically around 80 times larger than a sperm cell. This size discrepancy is due to the differences in function and composition of the two cells, with the ovum containing the necessary components to support early embryonic development.
Enzyme activity is affected by other molecules, temperature, chemical environment (e.g., pH), and the concentration of substrate and enzyme. Activators are molecules that encourage enzyme activity, and inhibitors are enzymes that decrease enzyme activity. Sometimes a cofactor is necessary for the enzyme to work.
The specialized sex cell in a female is called an ovum, or egg cell. Each ovum is produced in the ovaries and contains half the genetic material necessary for fertilization. During ovulation, a mature ovum is released and can be fertilized by a sperm cell, leading to the formation of a zygote. The ovum is typically larger than sperm cells and plays a crucial role in reproduction.
The acrosome layer of sperm cells contain enzymes to break down the outer layer of the ovum to allow penetration by the sperm cell.
Found in the stomach
as soon as a single sperm fertilises the ovum a change of composition takes place in ovum's outer layer forming zona pellucida which prevents the penetration of other sperms.
Enzyme Hyarulonidase is found mainly.It helps to degrade membranes around ovum
The female gamete is an egg or ovum. It is produced in the ovaries and is necessary for sexual reproduction when fertilized by a male gamete (sperm).
RNA Polymerase

Vitamin A
The ovum has a protective layer called the zona pellucida that hardens after the entry of one sperm cell, preventing additional sperm cells from penetrating. This process is known as the zona reaction and ensures only one sperm cell fertilizes the egg.

The spem head or acrosome cap contains digestive enzymes such as hyaluronidase and acrosin which are used to lyse the outer wall of the ovum during fertilization
