The mitochondris is there to store and produce energy for the sperm

The mitochondria carry out aerobic respiration that produce energy in the form of ATP molecules ( Adenosine triphosphate) These are important in helping the sperm remain motile so it can have sufficient energy to reach the oviduct/ fallopian tube, where it will fertilize the egg. The flagella is vital in enabling the mobility. We love you and good luck!

Why are the mitochondria arranged around the filament of a sperm cell?

Egg cells, or ova, are complete cells and have mitochondria. Spern cells are mobile packets of DNA, running on glucose and have no internal structure or organelles. A tightly-packed helical mitochondrial sheath surrounds part of the sperm tail. This is strange, however, because the sperm cell does not appear to produce energy by oxidative phosphorylation. Oxidative phosphorylation occurs in mitochondria. The sperm appears to produce all of its energy needs by glycolysis, which does not need mitochondria. Sperm do not contribute very many mitochondria to the egg upon fertilization. So most people get their mitochondria from their mothers.


What cell part rhymes with strife?

Mitochondria is a cell part that rhymes with strife. The mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell, producing energy through cellular respiration.


What part of cell releases energy from nutrients?

What is function of midpiece of sperm cell?

Middle piece is formed of mitochondiral spiral , nebenkern around the proximal part of axoneme. The mitochondria are the carriers of the oxidative enzymes and the enzymes which are responsible for oxidative phosphorylation. So the middle piece is the power house of a sperm


Where is DNA found in the eukaryotic cell?

DNA is primarily found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, where it is organized into chromosomes. Small amounts of DNA can also be found in mitochondria and chloroplasts.
