Removing the layers that surround the oocyte is due to the action of 100 sperm, but one sperm will fertilize the oocyte.
<h3>How does the sperm fertilize the oocyte?</h3>
When sperm and an oocyte (egg) join, their nuclei fuse, resulting in fertilization. These reproductive cells combine to produce a diploid cell (zygote) since each is a haploid holding half of the genetic material required to become a human being.
The surviving capacitated sperm come into contact with the oocyte as it travels along the distal uterine tube and move toward it in response to chemical attractants secreted by the corona radiata cells. The sperm must get beyond the two protective layers to reach the oocyte itself.
The sperm first penetrates the corona radiata cells. The sperm then bind to receptors in the zona pellucida when they come into touch with it. This starts a process known as the acrosomal reaction, in which the sperm's acrosome, an enzyme-filled "cap," releases its reserve of digesting enzymes. These enzymes make it possible for sperm to get through the zona pellucida and reach the oocyte. Finally, a single sperm contacts sperm-binding receptors on the plasma membrane of the oocyte. The head and mid-piece of the "winning" sperm then enter the interior of the oocyte after the plasma membrane of that sperm fuses with the oocyte's plasma membrane.

Like bacteria, fungi play an essential role in ecosystems because they are decomposers and participate in the cycling of nutrients by breaking down organic and inorganic materials to simple molecules. Fungi often interact with other organisms, forming beneficial or mutualistic associations.
When clouds get so full of water droplets that they can not hold any more, the water falls back to the ground as rain but sometimes water droplets freeze and fall to the ground as snow, sleet, or hail.
The Teeth of Herbivores, Carnivores and Omnivores For instance, herbivores, because they are plant eaters, have strong and flat molars that are made for grinding leaves and small or non-existent canine teeth.
Carnivores, the meat eaters of the animal world, have very defined canine teeth for tearing at meat, combined with a sometimes limited number of molars.
Omnivores, because they eat both meat and plants, have a combination of sharp front teeth and molars for grinding.

The plant tissue that is responsible for transport of the blue water to the flower is the XYLEM VESSELS.
Xylem vessels are responsible for upward transport of water and minerals from the roots to the stems and to the leaves.
