The Prostate Gland secretes an alkaline fluid that helps the sperm live longer in the relatively acidic environment in the vagina.
This helps neutralize the environment and allow the sperm to function and maximum capacity.
Sperm is a cell and already has a store of energy embedded within it. (Semen) Fluid is provided to enable the cells to move from the penis into the cervix to fertilise. If it not my this fluid the cells obtain energy :)
Glands: seminal vesicles, prostate gland and the bulbourethral glands.
The Seminal Vesicle gland produces a nourishing fluid for sperm called semen.
Cowper's Gland
Sperm is NOT mixed with blood. there is DNA but not blood. it can carry std's and especially HIV because it is a bodily fluid. The cowpers gland is the gland that produces the other fluid with the sperm.
Not directly, but fluid from Cowper's gland is usually released along with the other ejaculate, so it would be difficult to separate the fluid from this gland and not get sperm from the testes.
The seminal vesicle contains a sugary substance that gives the sperm energy and the Prostate gland provides alkaline fluid which helps protect the sperm from the acidity of the vagina
Special fluid is added to sperm cells in the seminal vesicles and the prostate gland. These glands produce seminal fluid that contains nutrients, enzymes, and other substances that support and nourish the sperm cells.

Prostate gland

Testicles produce sperm. The prostate gland produces the semen fluid that helps nourish sperm. See a doctor for an exam to see if your prostate gland ducts are blocked.
The glands that produce a fluid component of seminal fluid are called seminal vesicles. They also lubricate and nourish the sperm.
The prostate is the major one but the bulbourethral glands also secrete some components.
Sperm are produced in the male testicle (testis). Sperm cells are only the smallest part of the fluid that is ejaculated. The fluids from various glands (seminal vesicles, prostate, and Cowper's gland) are added to the sperm as the sperm are ejaculated.
the seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and the bulbo-urethral glands (known as 'Cowper's glands').
Your answer is the prostate gland.
The prostate gland.
fluid in which sperm can swim
