## 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 (unfertili
