How does the structure of the sperm cell relate to its function?

The structure of a sperm cell is tailored to its function of fertilizing an egg. The long tail (flagellum) helps it swim towards the egg, while the streamlined head contains genetic material and enzymes to penetrate the egg. The lack of many organelles reduces weight and energy requirements for efficient movement.


How do sperm cells make use of sugar?

Sperm cells use sugar (glucose) as an energy source to fuel their movement and enable them to swim toward the egg for fertilization. Glucose is metabolized through a process called glycolysis in the sperm cells to produce ATP, which is the energy currency of the cell. This energy is essential for the sperm cells to reach and penetrate the egg during fertilization.


How do you use sperm cell as a sentence?

Sperm cell is a type of cell found in male reproductive system that carries genetic material, necessary for fertilization of female egg cell.


How do you use sperm and egg in a sentence?

Can a mother have triplets with different fathers?

no. he/she cannot coz' a human being has 46 chromosomes 23 of which comes from the mum, 23 comes from the father. a sperm is strictly composed of 23 chromosomes, haploid of the 46. other reason is, fertilization suggests that only 1 sperm can penetrate a single egg, that's anti polyspermy. so f 1 man had sex with a woman then it's sperm will penetrate the ovulated egg, and the next man's sperm will never have the chance to penetrate the egg so is true with the other sperms of the first man.

How does the sperm and egg cell meet in frogs?

Frogs use external fertilisation, this means that the female frog lays thousands of eggs, but then the male sprays sperm on the offspring to fertilise it. So basically the sperm cell and egg cell meet when the male sprays his sperm cells over the eggs.

What must happen during sex that will lead to pregnancy?

If you're asking how sex can get you pregnant:Men make sperm in their testicles and it comes out when they ejaculate during sex. The sperm travel up the vagina into the uterus and fallopian tubes in a woman. If they find an egg (eggs come from her ovaries) they fertilize the egg. The fertilized egg attaches itself to the side of the uterus and grows into a baby.If you are having trouble getting pregnant try this web site on fertility:http://www.webmd.com/baby/guide/getting-pregnant-ways-to-improve-your-fertility
