Why does the surface of the oocyte change when the first sperm cell touches the oocyte?

Chemistry

Anestetic [448]2 years ago

To prevent more than one sperm from entering the egg.

What is oocyte?

An oocyte , or ovocyte is a female gametocyte or germ cell involved in reproduction. In other words, it is an immature ovum, or egg cell. An oocyte is produced in a female fetus in the ovary during female gametogenesis. The female germ cells produce a primordial germ cell (PGC), which then undergoes mitosis, forming oogonia. During oogenesis, the oogonia become primary oocytes. An oocyte is a form of genetic material that can be collected for cryoconservation.

When the sperm and egg fuse it triggers a release of calcium ions, which cause the cortical granules inside the egg to fuse with the plasma membrane. As they fuse, these granules release their contents outside of the cell, toward the remains of the zona pellucida.

Identify the elements given the orbital diagrams listed below.​
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

1. There are 8 electrons. Elements that end with 2p orbitals are in the 2nd period (aka row) of the periodic table. Elements that have 4 electrons in 2p are in the 16th group (aka column) (column 16 may also be referred to as 6A) of the periodic table. So looking at row 2, column 16, we can see that the first diagram is of O, Oxygen.

2. 8 electrons. This is the same diagram as the one above.

3. 13 electrons. Elements ending with 3p are in period 3. Elements with 1 valence electron in a p orbital are in group 13 (aka group 3A).

4. 7 electrons. We already know 2p is period 2. 3 valence electrons in a p orbital means that it is in group 15/group 5A.

I did not write the answers for #3 and 4 but they can be easily found on a periodic table with the info I gave.

A gas cylinder under constant pressure, such as one with a moveable piston, initially contains 0.25 moles of neon in 5.0 L. If 0
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

15L will be the final volume

STEPS:

.50 + .25 = .75

.25/5 ÷ .75/x

(.75*5=3.25)

.25x = 3.25

x=15
