As a part of this process, enzymes that break through the zona pellucida (pell-OO-sid-uh) are secreted from the acrosome.
F-P-P tri-peptide activates one stage of this process, and the broadcast form of this process is used by coral and hydra. S-E-D-1 is an independently binding receptor which functions independently in this process alongside galacto-syl-transferase (guh-LACK-tuh-seal-TRANS-fur-ace), which binds to residues on ZP3. Bindin mediates this process and creates a namesake cone in sea urchins. A six-hour event in humans called capacitation is part of this process and occurs when bicarbonate ions activate adenylyl cyclase. In that part of this process membrane changes resulting in waves of increased (*) calcium ions in the cytosol are sometimes explained by a "calcium bomb" hypothesis. As a part of this process, enzymes that break through the zona pellucida (pell-OO-sid-uh) are secreted from the acrosome. This process commonly occurs in the fallopian tube. For 10 points, name this biological process of gametes fusing to form an embryo.
