LaoThe 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.

Is ovum and oviduct the same thing?
No, an ovum is a mature female reproductive cell, also known as an egg cell, while an oviduct is the tube through which the ovum travels from the ovary to the uterus. The oviduct is where fertilization of the ovum typically occurs.
What are the functions of the parts in the ovum cell?
The plasma membrane of the ovum controls what goes in and out of the ovum. The Zona Pellucida also known as the jelly coat is responsible for the binding of the sperm during fertilization. The outermost layer called the corona radiata provides the ovum with essential proteins and protects the ovum as it travels down through the fallopian tubes.
