Mitochondria are located in the tail of the sperm. They provide the sperm with that whip like energy to move. They can give the energy to the sperm because mitochondria are the "powerhouse" of the cell.

Why do sperm have mitochondria in the midpoint?
Mitochondria are organelles that produce energy. If the "midpoint" of a sperm is where the flagellum attaches to the head of the sperm, then the mictochondria are there to provide energy needed to move the flagellum, therefor moving the sperm.
What organelles are inside a sperm cell?
mitochondria, nucleus, cytoskeleton (but cytoskeleton should not count as an organelle since it is just a protein network in cytoplasm). Sperm cells probably also have some endoplasmic reticulum and some other organelles.
Does the egg destroy the sperm's mitochondria?
Yes.
What part of the sperm must be present for energy production?
The mid piece of sperm contains mitochondria, which is required for energy production. The energy is used to propel the flagellum(tail).
Does the head of the sperm contain mitochondria?
No,head contain nucleus and lysosome.The mid part contain mitochondria.
What is function of mitochondria in sperm?
The mitochondria provide energy to the sperm's 'tail' (flagellum) so that it can move, and propel the sperm cell forward.
What organelle is most abundant in the sperm cell?
Mitochondria. It takes a lot of energy to swim as far as they have to.
Would sperm cells with more mitochondria than others have a greater chance of fertilising an egg?
Sperm cells have no mitochondria.

Why does the sperm has an energy producing structure?
The structures in the sperm that provide energy are known as mitochondria. They have a main function of producing motility for the human sperm.
What organelles are inside a sperm cell?
mitochondria, nucleus, cytoskeleton (but cytoskeleton should not count as an organelle since it is just a protein network in cytoplasm). Sperm cells probably also have some endoplasmic reticulum and some other organelles.
Does a spermcell contain mitochondria?
A large number of mitochondria power the flagella of sperm cells.
Do both cells contain mitochondria?
sperm does
Does the egg destroy the sperm's mitochondria?
Yes.

What organelles found abundantly in sperm cells?
Mitochondria
A large concentration of mitochondria are present in which section of a sperm cell?
A large concentration of mitochondria are present in the tail section of the sperm. The mitochondria are the energy components, and the tail needs the energy for it's journey to fertilization.
