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.

∙ 14y agoEach sperm cell has three parts: a head, middle piece, and tail. An acrosome at the head tip produces enzymes that help penetrate the female ovum (egg). During conception, chromosomes (genetic material) in the nucleus (cell control center) join with chromosomes in the ovum. The middle piece contains mitochondria, structures that provide energy for the sperm. The mitochondria are tightly spiraled around the axial filaments (contractile portion) of the flagellum (tail). Centrioles form the tail, which moves the sperm toward the ovum. An ejaculation (ejection of sperm from the penis) has 300 to 500 million sperm.

What is the difference between the spermatids and the spermatozoa?
Spermatid is an immature sperm cell where a spermatoza is a mature sperm cell.
Why used the mature pollen grain in pollen germination experiment?
this is because premature pollen grain do not contain the sperm cell for fertilization. only the generative nucleus in mature pollen grain will divide mitosisly to form sperm cell for fertilization
The mature female sex cells are released from what?
