    The document discusses the structures and functions of sperm and egg cells. Sperm cells have a tail for mobility, an energy-producing structure, enzymes in their head, and half the normal number of chromosomes. Egg cells are larger with stored food and also contain half the normal chromosomes. The job of sperm is to fertilize eggs, and they are produced in males. Eggs are produced in females.

    2. List the main differences you can see between the two cells.

    3. Explain the following special features...

    The sperm has a tail.

    The sperm has an energy producing structure.

    The egg cell has a lot of cytoplasm with stored food in it.

    The sperm has a packet of enzymes at the top of its head.

    The sperm has an oval head.

    Each cell contains half a normal set of chromosomes.

    4. Describe the job that each cell does.

    5. Where is each cell made?

    6. When are each cell made?
