    Lesson 12 Sex Cells

    Uploaded by

    Gemma Wrigley
    Egg and sperm cells have different structures that allow them to perform specialized roles in fertilization. Learners must describe the structures of egg and sperm cells, including drawing diagrams showing their relative sizes. They should also explain the roles of the acrosome in sperm cells and the zona pellucida during fertilization, such as how the zona pellucida prevents multiple sperm from entering the egg and how the acrosome digests a path for the sperm to enter the egg. Learners are tasked with creating scale models and an animated slideshow of egg and sperm cells and the fertilization process using modeling materials and their phones.

    Specialised cells

    KEY IDEA:

    Cells are adapted to perform different roles within living organisms.

    12. Sex cells


    LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

    You
    LO1: MUST describe the structure of egg and sperm cells.
    LO2: SHOULD draw diagrams showing the correct
    relative sizes of eggs and sperm cells.

    LO3: COULD

    explain the roles of the acrosome in sperm


    cells and the zona pellucida during fertilisation.

    The zona
    pellucida
    prevents
    multiple
    sperm
    from
    entering
    the egg.

    The
    acrosom
    e digests
    a path
    into the
    egg.

    TASK: Using your research notes use


    the modelling materials to produce
    accurate scale models of egg and
    sperm cells and model the events of
    fertilisation.
    Extra challenge: Use your phones to
    produce an animated slide show of
    the main events.
