What male reproductive organ produces an alkaline secretion which helps sperm to live longer?

The accessory sex glands (such as seminal vesicles, prostate, and Cowper's glands) contribute fluid to semen. The seminal vesicles contribute to about 60-70% of the seminal fluid as they secrete their alkaline, white-ish, yellow, viscous material (which contains fructose, prostaglandins, and ascorbic acid). So, the seminal vesicles are the main contributor to the alkaline pH of semen. The prostate gland, however, also secretes materials (such as citric acid, fibrinolysin, prostatic acid phosphatase, and serine protease) which will make up about 25% of seminal fluid. Thus, the prostate gland also contributes to the alkaline pH of semen, but the seminal vesicles are the major players.

What kind of batteries last longer?
alkaline
Why does an Alkaline battery last longer than an acid dry battery?
Alkaline dry cells last longer because NH4Cl, an acid found in non-alkaline, is replaced with KOH or NaOH, a base found in alkaline. The Zinc in an alkaline dry cell batteries tends to corrode less in basic conditions.
Will alkaline batteries last longer cold?
No, batteries should be stored at room temperature and extreme temperatures reduce performance. They do last longer for about 5%. And if there alkaline batteries, room temperature does just as well.
What is the gland that has an alkaline fluid that helps sperm live longer?
Your answer is the prostate gland.
How does the type of battery affect how long it will last?
This is not necessarily true. Usually the brand of battery is not as important as the technology used. An alkaline battery should last longer than a regular carbon battery, no matter what the brand.

Is it really important to use an alkaline battery instead of a cheaper one for everyday purposes?
Alkaline batteries work better and last much longer then the cheap ones that are marked heavy duty. You can purchase alkaline batteries for a reasonable price simply by avoiding brand names.
