Sperm Cells are gametes or sex cells. They only have 23 chromosomes in humans & are 1 of 2 gametes that when joined form a zygote, a fertilized oocyte. They are used to reproduce. Sperm are not alive & only become living when 1 fertilizes an egg. Bacteria are living organisms that reproduce through binary fission, a form of asexual reproduction. Bacteria can live for weeks in contrast Sperm become useless with in a few minutes. The primary function of Bacteria is to reproduce, while the primary function of Sperm is to fertilize an ovum, & carry out the task of reproducing for the organism from which it originated.

What is difference between a sperm and plant cell?

Sperm cells are very different from pollen grain cells, although they do have the similarity that they are both male gametes. Sperm cells are animal cells and they are mobile, they swim in a liquid medium. Pollen grain cells are plant cells and they have no mobility, they just go where the wind, or where pollinating insects, or anything else may take them.
