Yes. The largest human cell is also the egg.

The yolk is really the one large cell.


The albumen is goop and just supplies water to the growing chick apparently

Thanks peeps. I thought the blastodisc was the cell with all the organelles, and that the yolk and white were not really part of it. But I stand corrected.
