write it in your own words:

"In humans, five days after the fertilization, the blastocyst performs zona hatching; the zona pellucida degenerates and decomposes, to be replaced by the underlying layer of trophoblastic cells. The zona pellucida is essential for oocyte growth and fertilization."

The zona pellucida supports communication between oocytes and follicle cells during oogenesis; protects oocytes, eggs, and embryos during development, and regulates interactions between ovulated eggs and free-swimming sperm during and following fertilization.

The blastocyst achieves zona hatching. The zona pellucida deteriorates and disintegrates, waiting for its replacement by the underlying layer of trophoblastic cells.

Once a sperm enters the zona pellucida, it connects and combines with the plasma membrane of the oocyte. Union occurs at the back region of the sperm head. The molecular characteristics of sperm-oocyte binding are not entirely resolved.

Answer:

All living things are made up of one or more cells.

Explanation:

The cell theory is a universal theory proposed by three scientists viz: Theodor Schwann, Mathias Scleiden, and Rudolf Virchow in the year 1838. These three scientists contributed to the cell theory and proposed the following:

1) All living things are composed of one or more cells

2) Cell is the basic and fundamental unit of life

3) New cells arise from pre-existing cells.

However, at an earlier date specifically 1665, an English scientist named Robert Hooke has discovered and coined the term "cells" in his published book by observing a piece of cork under a microscope. This Hooke's discovery of cells from a once living cork best supports the part of the cell theory that states that: All living things are made up of one or more cells.
