The sperms themselves have no sense of direction; in such a situation a chemical signature released by the ovum serves to direct the sperm. This is intended to help and guide the sperm to the right direction, towards that of the ovum.

Does flagella move?

Yes, that is actually their intended purpose. Many microbes have flagella to help them move around in their environment. The well known "tail" of a sperm cell is actually a flagella and what the sperm uses to move, or "swim", into the uterus.


Can a steam locomotive go in reverse?

Yes. And as well as it can go forward. (See the cab-fowards of the Southern Pacific)


Write both forward and reverse reactions and describe the macroscopic characterstics of each?

Forward reaction: A + B -> C + D Reverse reaction: C + D -> A + B Macroscopic characteristics: In the forward reaction, reactants A and B are consumed to produce products C and D. In the reverse reaction, products C and D are consumed to produce reactants A and B. The macroscopic characteristics would include changes in concentration of the reactants and products over time, as well as any observable changes in temperature, color, or pressure.


Hair like tail region of the sperm is called?

The hair-like tail region of the sperm is called the flagellum. It is responsible for propelling the sperm forward to reach the egg for fertilization.

How do you get the key on the bug game in moshi monsters?

well all you do is move the bugs round forward and backwards then move the key out of its head


What helps animals sperm cells move so that they can reach an egg?

Tail structures called flagella help propel sperm cells forward through fluids such as seminal fluid and cervical mucus. These flagella generate a whipping motion that allows the sperm to swim towards the egg for fertilization. Additionally, the chemical environment along the reproductive tract provides cues that guide the sperm towards the egg.


Why is the ovum big and why it doesn't move?

The ovum is bigger than sperm because it contains nutrients and organelles needed to support early embryonic development. It does not move due to its size and structure, as well as the surrounding cells and reproductive structures that help guide it toward the sperm for fertilization.


Euglenoids and male sperm use what to move about?

Euglenoids and male sperm are both single-celled organisms. In order for Euglenoids and sperm to move, they both use a flagella. A flagella is a microscopic whip-like appendage that enables single-celled organisms to swim.


What force is causing the bike to move forward?

In wagon pulling, there is a harnessing system involved which is attached to the breast of the horse. When a horse pulls forward, the harness, which is attached to the wagon moves with him as well, therefore moving the wagon forward.


Why do the gases and waste products move backwards out of rockets?

Well its the only place they can move. It also helps to move the rocket upwards or wherever the rocket is going. This is the basic principle of Rocket. Rocket is propelled and move forward because of the pressure difference between the combustion chamber and the atmosphere and the coresponding raction force.. Pressure is created by burning fuel inside the chamber. Since there is only one opening in the rocket the gases move on the reverse direction of the rocket movement. ( the backward direction)
