Answer

To fill in the blank in the statement "A sperm is much …………. than an egg cell," we need to compare the sizes of a sperm cell and an egg cell (ovum).

1. **Understanding the Cells**:
- A sperm cell is the male gamete in humans.
- An egg cell, also known as an ovum, is the female gamete.

2. **Comparing Sizes**:
- Sperm cells are generally much smaller than egg cells.
- The egg cell is one of the largest cells in the human body, while sperm cells are significantly smaller.

3. **Choosing the Right Word**:
- Given the comparison, the appropriate word to fill in the blank is "smaller."

Thus, the completed statement is: "A sperm is much smaller than an egg cell."
