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

What is the process in which sperm are streamlined into head midpiece and tail?
Spermiogenesis
What is the function of an animal sperm cell?
The function of a sperm cell is to compete with all it's "fellow" sperm cells to fertilize an available egg and produce a viable offspring.
What is the function of the egg cell?
The function of an egg cell is to join with a sperm cell to create a new being after the parents.
What is function of egg cell?
The function of an egg cell is to join with a sperm cell to create a new being after the parents.
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.

Spermiogenesis
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
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
Special function of the sperm cell?
The function of the sperm cell is to fertilize an egg cell.
What is a sperm cell main function?
sperm main function is to carry the male genes to the egg
What is the function of an animal sperm cell?
The function of a sperm cell is to compete with all it's "fellow" sperm cells to fertilize an available egg and produce a viable offspring.
Is a sperm cell a specialised cell?
A sperm cell (gamete) is a specialised cell because it only performs one function: to fertilise an egg, and its structure relates to it's function. For example, the sperm cell's long tail helps it swim faster.
What is the function of the egg cell?
The function of an egg cell is to join with a sperm cell to create a new being after the parents.

What is the function of the egg cell and sperm cell?
the sperm cells have to swim to the ovum and then fertilise it. and the egg cells have to reproduvce the offspring
What is the function of a plasma membrane in a sperm cell?
it helps control what goes in and out of the cell. It also help protect the nucleus, and the inside of the sperm.
