there is no specific number or amount of mitochondria it varies dependent on your age and gender. however they can be increase through training of the muscles especially strength training the most common form of this is free weights.

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.
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.
Does the egg destroy the sperm's mitochondria?
Yes.
Does the head of the sperm contain mitochondria?
No,head contain nucleus and lysosome.The mid part contain mitochondria.
What does a sperm nucleus contain?
The sperm's nucleus contains the 23 male chromosomes. The middle part of the sperm consists of 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.
Does a spermcell contain mitochondria?
A large number of mitochondria power the flagella of sperm cells.
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.

What part of sperm contains DNA?
The nucleus of a sperm contains the DNA, seeing as a sperm is just another eukaryotic cell of the human body.
Do both cells contain mitochondria?
sperm does
Does the egg destroy the sperm's mitochondria?
Yes.
Why do all cells need mitochondria?
Mitochondria are an energy supply for cells. For example, human and human fat cells only have a small amount of mitochondria as they do not move or do much. On the other hand, sperm cells have many mitochondria as they have to transport themselves through the vagina to the awaiting egg cell.
Which cell has largest number of mitochondria?
Muscle cells have the largest number of mitochondria.
