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.

An organic compound<span> is any member of a large class of gaseous, liquid, or solid chemical </span>compounds whose molecules contain carbon and <span>a hydrocarbon is compound of hydrogen and carbon, such as any of those that are the chief components of petroleum and natural gas.</span>
<u>Answer:</u> The equation is given below.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Single replacement reactions are the chemical reactions in which more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its chemical reaction. General equation for these reactions is given by the equation:
Metal A is more reactive than metal B.
The reactivity of metals is judged with the help of reactivity series. In this series, the metals lying above are more reactive than the metals which lie below in the series.
For the reaction of solid lithium metal and nitric acid, the equation follows:
This is a type of single replacement reaction because Lithium (more reactive metal) is replacing Hydrogen (less reactive metal) from the chemical reaction.
Answer is: ammonia has a higher boiling point because it has stronger intermolecular forces.
Intermolecular forces<span> are the forces between </span><span>molecules. The stronger are intermolecular forces, the higher is boiling point of compound, because more energy is needed to break interaction between molecules.
</span>There are several types of intermolecular forces: hydrogen bonding, i<span>on-induced dipole forces, ion-dipole forces andvan der Waals forces.</span>
