The tail is for motility.
Sperm cells are zygotes (specialised cells with only 23 chromosomes).
A sperm cell has a whiplike tail (flagellum) which helps it swim towards the egg, and a head that is mostly filled with a nucleus containing genetic material.
Sperm need a tail for motility, which allows them to swim towards the egg for fertilization. The tail, also known as a flagellum, propels the sperm through the female reproductive tract to reach and penetrate the egg.
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.
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.
The tail is the part of a sperm cell that is responsible for locomotion. Without a tail the sperm cell could not make it to the egg for fertilization.
the tail helps the sperm cell swim up to the egg cell
A sperm cell has a tail and can swim around to fing the egg.
Its Tail
flagellum
so it can swim
Sperm cell of mammals has three parts which are the head, mid-piece, and the tail. The part that lashes for the sperm to move is the tail which is also called flagellum.
Tail sheath acts as a cell membrane to the sperm.
The tail of the sperm cell
A sperm cell has a small agile tail which swings to and fro to push the cell forward. This tail helps it to move. Unlike the sperm cell the egg cell doesn't move since when the sperm cell unites with it the food is provided by the egg cell.
it helps it swim faster
