It is the fluid that suspends all the organells, and protects them from damage. It's also known (I think) as cytoplasm
In the block to polyspermy, entry of the sperm's contents causes calcium ion levels in the oocyte's cytoplasm to rise, triggering the cortical reaction.
In biology, polyspermy describes the fertilization of an egg by more than one sperm. Diploid organisms normally contain two copies of each chromosome, one from each parent.
The cell resulting from polyspermy, on the other hand, contains three or more copies of each chromosome—one from the egg and one each from multiple sperm. Usually, the result is an unviable zygote. This may occur because sperm are too efficient at reaching and fertilizing eggs due to the selective pressures of sperm competition.
The cortical reaction is a calcium-dependent exocytotic process in which the content of secretory granules is released into the perivitellin space immediately after fertilization, which serves to prevent polyspermic fertilization.

Active transport hope this helps out at least.
Answer:
Hypothesis, controlled conditions, "if then" statement, scientific investigation, observation.
Explanation:
Hypothesis: An idea proposed for an argument to be tested if it's true.
Controlled Conditions: An experiment that doesn't manipulate the independent variable.
If then statements: These sentences present situations and their outcomes.
Scientific Investigation: A plan for asking questions and testing possible answers.
Observation: Using one of the senses (hearing, seeing, tasting, smell, touching) or measurements to gather data.
