yes
edit: No, even though that is what social media would have you believe. In reality the egg yoke is simply food for a microscopic normal sized cell. The yoke itself does not live nor act like a cell at all. Also even if you were to assume that by a vauge definition it were a cell (the same definition that would interpret my bladder as a cell) then yes it would be an abnormaly large cell, but not the largest. There is a kind of plant growing in south america which can get multiple meters in length.
So im sorry but it is not the largest single cell, but that would be cool
Yes, an egg yolk is considered to be the largest single cell in the body. Each egg yolk is a single cell that contains all the necessary components for the development of an embryo.

What are the organelles of the egg cell?
The cell membrane. The shell is just an extra organelle solely made of calcium carbonate that provides structure. It is not part of the living egg, just a layer of protection. Note that the egg is only one cell
Is yolk nucleus?
No, the yolk is not a nucleus. The yolk is a nutrient-rich component found in the center of an egg, providing essential nutrients for the developing embryo. It is not related to the nucleus, which is the central organelle containing the genetic material of a cell.
Does yolk retard cleavage?
Yes, the yolk acts as a physical barrier to cleavage, making it more difficult for the zygote to undergo cell division. This can slow down or inhibit the cleavage process in organisms with telolecithal or centrolecithal eggs where the yolk is concentrated at one end.
How does the vegetal pole differ from the animal pole of a zygote?
The vegetal pole of a zygote contains more yolk-rich cytoplasm compared to the animal pole, which has less yolk and more nutrient-rich cytoplasm. This difference in yolk distribution influences cell division and differentiation during early development.
How does the amount of yolk affect blastulation?
The amount of yolk present in an egg can affect blastulation by influencing the cleavage pattern and rate of cell division. Eggs with more yolk tend to have slower and asynchronous cleavage, which can impact the formation of the blastula. Higher yolk content may also affect the size and nutrition available to the developing embryo during blastulation.
How many cells are in an egg yolk?
Each egg cell is a single haploid cell.
What is the largest single Cell?
Caulerpa is the largest single Cell organism. An unfertilized Ostrich egg is the largest single Cell; Ovums are single Egg Cells. Actually the largest single cell in the world is the giraffe neuron in a hind leg of the giraffe.
Why is the egg cell found on the egg yolk and not the egg white?
The yolk is the food for the cell. It is the very life of the developing embryo. For the 21 days that cell need to grow into a living breathing chicken, everything it need will come from that yolk.
What part of the egg provide food for the chick?
The germinal disc. The egg is really just a single cell, until it is fertilized. The blastodisc (white spot on top of the yolk) is what will become part of the fetus when fertilized with sperm. Then the fetus feeds off the yolk to continue developing.
What is a yolk plug?
A yolk plug is a large edible cell surrounded by the blastopore of an amphibian gastrula.

The cell membrane. The shell is just an extra organelle solely made of calcium carbonate that provides structure. It is not part of the living egg, just a layer of protection. Note that the egg is only one cell
Can you have a pic of a fat cell?
Yes, the yolk of an egg is a large or "fat" cell.
What cell don't you need a light microscope to see?
The yolk of an egg is one cell.
What are the nutrients in a egg yolk?
an egg 1 cell.... did you know that?!?!
What part of the cell can be visualized as the yolk of a raw egg?
The Nucleus
Why Yolk is absent in human egg?
A bird's egg is a self-contained unit. Everything the fetus needs to grow to birth weight is contained in the egg. The yolk provides the nutrients to bring that single-cell egg to birth stage. In humans, the nutrients are provided from the mother to the fetus by the umbilical cord.
