Of course it is filled with mitochondria. That is to provide energy for swimming.

What is the outer layers of the ovule?
The sperm cell consists of 3 parts: the head (with the acrosomal vesicle, nucleus and centriole), midpiece (containing mitochondria) and tail (for movement). Enclosing all of this is a cell membrane
Is a mitochondria cell found on a plant or animal?
It is found in the sperm cell which means it an animal cell as us humans are animals.
What is the mitochondria in the sperm used for?
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.
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.
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.
What are the characteristics of structuralism?
A sperm cell consists of three parts: HEAD which contains the acrosomal vesicle, nucleus and centriole MIDPIECE which contains mitochondria to produce energy needed for movement TAIL or flagella which flips back and forth to provide movement Only the sperm head penetrate the egg. The midpiece and tail are lost

Parts of a mature sperm cell?
The sperm cell consists of a head, a midpiece and a tail. The head contains the nucleus surrounded an acrosome, which contains enzymes used for penetrating the egg. The midpiece has a core with many mitochondria around it. Those produce ATP to drive the tail.
Which has more mitochondria sperm cell or liver cell?
liver cell
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.
What does it mean an energy flagellum?
it is the 'tail' of some cells, for example the sperm cell. flagellums that contain mitochondria (like the sperm) cell are known as energy flagellum, as the mitochondria in them energy for activities such as movement (or swimming to the ovum for the sperm cell)
Important structural characteristic of the sperm cell?
The sperm cell is an interestingly specialised cell whose function is to swim to the ovum and then to fertilise it. The sperm cell has three basic parts. The head contains the DNA to be injected into the ovum and also has chemotatic receptors for navigation towards the ovum. The Tail is at the other end and is a single flagella in healthy cells. This structure flips and twists in such a way as to propel the cell along. Finally between the two is the body of the cell which contains six mitochonria to power the movement of the flagella. It is the the joint between the body and the head that is broken during fertilisation so that none of the motochondria are from the father.
What is the adaptations of a sperm cell?
Lots of Mitochondria to respire A tail to swim
Is a mitochondria cell found on a plant or animal?
It is found in the sperm cell which means it an animal cell as us humans are animals.
What is the mitochondria in the sperm used for?
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.
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
