What function does the fluid part of semen provide?
It provides a nutrient rich alkaline environment in which the sperm can swim. The alkalinity helps to some degree to protect the sperm from the acidic environment of a woman's vagina which would otherways damage and ultimately kill them. the nutrients are required to provide the energy for the sperms to swim.
Does flagella move?
Yes, that is actually their intended purpose. Many microbes have flagella to help them move around in their environment. The well known "tail" of a sperm cell is actually a flagella and what the sperm uses to move, or "swim", into the uterus.

Hot tub and sperm?

Why the fluids produced by the seminal vesicle and prostate gland important?
The seminal vesicle provides nutrients and energy for the sperm as well as providing compounds that make sperm alkaline, which helps the sperm survive the highly acidic environment of the vagina. The prostate makes semen even more alkaline
Why amphibians must lay their eggs in a moist environment?
they need the water so their sperm can swim to the eggs.
Prostate gland secretion helps neutralize seminal fluid because the prostate secretion is?
The prostate gland secretion helps neutralize seminal fluid because it is alkaline in nature. This alkaline fluid, which makes up a significant portion of semen, helps neutralize the acidic environment of the urethra and vaginal tract, providing a more hospitable environment for sperm survival and motility. Additionally, the alkaline nature of prostate secretion may also help protect sperm from the acidic environment of the female reproductive tract.
Can you swim in an alkaline lake?
It would depend on how alkaline the lake was. The sea is slightly alkaline and you can swim in that. However, I wouldn't advise that you go and swim in a lake with a pH of 14! I think this question would do better if it was rephrased.
Why are ferns considered incompletely adapted to the terrestrial environment?

Is alkaline water bad for your sperm count?

What provides an alkaline solution to sperm?
The seminal vesicles do.
Why is it important that the semen is alkaline?
Basically, the alkaline pH of the seminal fluid is to protect the sperm. This is necessary for a couple of reasons: - The vagina is slightly acidic, while the sperm are made to be in an alkaline environment. If they had no alkaline protection from the semen itself, they'd die when they hit the vagina, which kills the entire (evolutionary) point of having sex. - Urine is acidic, and there's often some leftovers from some previous peeing in the urethra. The semen neutralizes the urine, lettin gthe sperm go through without dying.
