Abstract

Decreased glycogen radioactivity was followed as an indicator of glycogen utilization following activation of Strongylocentrotus purpuratus eggs. Within 15 minutes of exposure to sperm or ammonia, egg glycogen radioactivity decreased. The level of radioactivity in control (unfertilized) eggs remained relatively constant. These results suggest enhanced egg glycogenolysis is a pH‐sensitive event independent of the β€œrespiratory burst”.

## Abstract Sea urchin eggs take up Ca for 10 min following insemination (determined as uptake of ^45^Ca from the SW (3)). Although 90% of this uptake occurs after the beginning of the cortical reaction and may represent external binding of Ca to the egg surface coats, there is a brief phase of upt
