I am trying to get the students to understand just how small human sperm 
and egg cells are.I would like the actual size of each. I would also be 
interested in just how many sperm could actually fit on an egg while 
trying to penetrate it. I hope i have given enough info for you to answer 
my questions. I have searched on hte web for 3 hours and could not find 
the answers to my questions. Please help.
