An interest rate is the price lenders charge to borrowers to use their money. An interest rate of 5 percent means that someone borrowing $1,000 will have to make interest payments of $50 per year â in addition to eventually paying back the amount that was originally borrowed.eople often talk about the Fed setting this interest rate, but that's not quite accurate. What happens is that the Fed announces a target for the federal funds rate and then uses its ability to create or destroy money to reach its target. There are a couple of ways the Fed can do this.
A human female typically has about 400,000 follicles/potential eggs, all formed before birth. Only several hundred (about 480) of these âeggsâ will actually ever be released during her reproductive years. Normally, in humans, after the onset of puberty, due to the stimulation of follicular-stimulating-hormone (FSH) one âeggâ per cycle matures and is released from its ovary. One month the left ovary will release a potential egg and the next month the right ovary will release a potential egg.
If the lyrics strike you as funny, itâs most likely because calling a sperm cell sacred sounds ridiculous when men can produce so many of them. In fact, the average male will produce roughly 525 billion sperm cells over a lifetime and shed at least one billion of them per month. A healthy adult male can release between 40 million and 1.2 billion sperm cells in a single ejaculation. In contrast, women are born with an average 2 million egg follicles, the reproductive structures that give rise to eggs. By puberty, a majority of those follicles close up and only about 450 will ever release mature eggs for fertilization.
