How are tumor cells different from normal cells?

The big difference is growth. Normal cells stop growing when there are enough in one spot.

For example: When you get a cut, cells go to heal the wound, and the cells grow. But when the work is done, the cells stop growing.

But, cancer/tumor cells (not at a wound) grow and grow even when touching the first layers of muscle and skin. This would be what creates the lump. So, these bad cells are very overgrown and practically swollen cells.

Hope I helped.

For fertilization to occur in humans, only one sperm is needed to weaken the barrier that surrounds the egg.

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Approximately 200 out of 200 million sperms ejaculated during intercourse reach the general vicinity of the egg. They sperms must undergo capacitation during which dilute inhibitory factors fluids of the female reproductive tract weaken the membrane of the sperm head so that head of the sperm can be broken easily when it came in contact with the egg.

The first sperm to reach an egg isn’t the one to fertilize it because the egg is surrounded by a gelatinous membrane called the zona pellucida. Outside this layer, a layer of small granulosa cells also present.

Therefore, it requires numerous sperm to clear a path through these barriers before one of them can penetrate the egg and fertilize it.
