Penetration of the egg' zona pellucida by the sperm cell is a process driven by hydrolytic enzymes.  
<span>
The critical step in fertilization is binding between sperm receptors and glycoproteins on the zona pellucida. This is the trigger for the acrosome reaction which includes an influx of CA and a rise in pH and cAMP levels within the sperm head. As a result, the plasma membrane of the sperm fuses with the outer acrosomal membrane and the exocytosis of the acrosomal<span> vesicle occurs. Components of the acrosome, like hydrolytic enzymes, are released and they degrade the <span>zona pellucida allowing</span> the sperm to move </span>inside.</span>

Hydrogen peroxide does not make a good antiseptic for open wounds because ____________. view available hint(s) hydrogen peroxide
steposvetlana [31]
The correct answer is "catalase in human tissues neutralizes it".

Hydrogen peroxide works to kill bacteria by forming free radicals which exerts oxidative stress in the bacterial cell leading mostly to cell membrane damage and lysis of the bacterial cells. In the environment of human tissues wherein there is catalase, hydrogen peroxide is converted to water and oxygen which has no antiseptic effect.

Why is frog egg laid in long gelatin fluid
Naya [18.7K]
Although amphibious frogs live on land and in water, they must lay their eggs in water or the eggs will dry up, effectively killing the offspring inside. Frog eggs are covered with a glycoprotein, which helps keep the eggs moist. This glycoprotein has to keep in contact with a source of moisture, such as water.
