Sperm have a long way to go and not very long to live so they pack light. They don't need ribosomes, roughER, Golgi apparatus, etc. They only need a sack filled with DNA, a flagellum, mitochondria to power it and a way to get into the egg if he's lucky enough to make it that far.

∙ 11y agoBecause most of the space needs to be taken up by the nucleus and acrosome.
The nucleus so it can carry the genetic information and to control the cell, as the sperm cell is very complex. The acrosome needs to take up a lot of space, as it is very important due to it being the part of the cell that needs to get itself into the egg to fertilize it

What happens if the cytoplasm of a cell is damaged?
Minor damage of the cytoplasm in a living cell can be repaired by itself but if it is very severe the cell will die.
What is the function of the cell membrane for kids?
a very thin membrane, composed of lipids and protein, that surrounds the cytoplasm of a cell and controls the passage of substances into and out of the cell
Fat cell How is it adapted to its cell function?
-They have very little cytoplasm which gives it room to store fat -They have very few mitochondria (parts of the cell where respiration happens to produce energy) as they use very little energy -They can expand 1000 times larger from their normal size as it fills with fat Hope you find it useful
Where in the cell does the glycolysis phase of cellular respiration occur?
Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol of the cell. This is true for both eukaryotes and prokaryotes.NOTE: The cytoplasm refers to the space between the cell membrane and the nucleus, including the intracellular fluid and organelles. The cytosol, however, refers to just the fluid. Although cytoplasm would probably be accepted as a valid answer, cytosol is the terminology you want to use. It takes place in the mitochondria in both plants, animals and microogranisms.
What is the appearance and location of lysosomes?
the lysosome is located in the animal and plant cell
In a typical animal cell does the cytoplasm occupy almost all of the volume or a little more than half the volume or one quarter or a very small part?
in a typical animal cell, the cytoplasm occupies a little more than half the volume.
What is difference between a sperm and plant cell?
Sperm cells are very different from pollen grain cells, although they do have the similarity that they are both male gametes. Sperm cells are animal cells and they are mobile, they swim in a liquid medium. Pollen grain cells are plant cells and they have no mobility, they just go where the wind, or where pollinating insects, or anything else may take them.
Do sperm cells have a cell membrane?
Yes, but not much else except a very small amount of cytoplasm plus the nucleus.
What is the function of each parts of the cell?
The sperm cell is very basic and has very little function. The flagella tail serves to move the sperm and contains a few mitocondria. The head stores all the genetic materials from the paternal side.

How is jello like the cytoplasm?
Jello is very similar to cytoplasm. Like the fruit in a jello mold, cytoplasm holds the parts of the cell suspended in place.
What are small agranulocytes that have a dense nucleus and very little cytoplasm?
Small agranulocytes that have a dense nucleus and very little cytoplasm are called Lymphocytes.
Is sperm cell that longest cell?
No, infact it is very small in size.
Why does all of the cytoplasm in a fertilised egg come from the mother?
Because the male contribution to a fertilized egg is only a sperm. A sperm is a very small cell stripped of almost everything except the genetic material it is passing on and the necessary equipment it needs to get that genetic material where it needs to go. Cellular cytoplasm is not one of those things. Therefore, the egg, which comes from the mother, must provide all of the cellular structures, including cytoplasm, for the embryo.
Which feature is common to prokaryotic and eukaryotes cell?
Both of these cells have cell membranes. However, the two types have very little else in common, as eukaryotic cells are much more complex.Ribosomes, plasma membrane, cytoplasm,
How does the cell membrane relate to the cytoplasm?
The cell membrane is very much like the rubber part of an inflated balloon.
