Sperm cells require more mitochondria because it takes a lot of energy to swim up to the Fallopian tube whereas egg cells get moved by the current the ciliated epithelium lining the tube create.

∙ 11y agoSperm cells have more mitochondria.It has to swim a long distance by waving flagella.It is an active process.Egg doesnot move.

∙ 7y agoSperm has to swim actively. So it has many number of mitochondria
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoThere is no exact number.It can be few to many.

Does the egg destroy the sperm's mitochondria?
Yes.
Does the y chromosome in the male sex cell have a mitochondria?
No, the Y chromosome in the male sex cell (sperm) does not have mitochondria. Mitochondria are inherited from the mother's egg cell, as they contain mitochondrial DNA. The Y chromosome carries genes that determine male sex characteristics.
What 2 cells created you?
A sperm and an egg.
what cell is bigger the sperm or the egg?
the egg is larger than the sperm cell
Why sperm cells contain large numbers of mitochondria?
It requires a lot of energy for a sperm cell to travel through to meet with the ovum. For this reason, the sperm cells doesn't contain any organelles except for a few mitochondria. The rest of the organelles are inherited from the ovum.
Would sperm cells with more mitochondria than others have a greater chance of fertilising an egg?
Sperm cells have no mitochondria.
What cell have more mitochondria a muscle cell or egg cell?
muscle
Which type of cell would have more mitochondria an egg cell or muscle cell?
muscle cell
What is the Location of genetic material in a cell?
DNA located in nucleus as well as mitochondria in the cell.
Why are there different sizes of egg and sperm cells?
Sperm cells contain little more than a haploid nucleus in the head, mitochondria in the mid piece, and a flagellum tail. egg cells have all of the organelles used by the offspring, yet the major difference in mass can be attributed to the different amounts of cytosolute (the egg has a lot more).
Does the egg destroy the sperm's mitochondria?
Yes.

No, the Y chromosome in the male sex cell (sperm) does not have mitochondria. Mitochondria are inherited from the mother's egg cell, as they contain mitochondrial DNA. The Y chromosome carries genes that determine male sex characteristics.
What the process of egg cell and sperm cell?
The process when an egg cell and a sperm cell COMBINE is called Fertilization
Which contains more cytoplasm and needed chemicals egg or sperm cell?
The egg
