What else can I help you with?
What does the tail in the sperm cell do?
it enables the sperm to move around to reach the egg
The structure that grows from a pollen grain to an ovule and enables a sperm to pass directly to an egg?
pollen tube
What is the purpose of the enzymes in acrosome?
The enzymes in the acrosome, which is a cap-like structure on the head of sperm cells, play a crucial role in fertilization. They facilitate the breakdown of the protective layers surrounding the egg, allowing the sperm to penetrate and ultimately fuse with the egg. This process is essential for successful fertilization, as it enables the sperm to reach and fertilize the ovum.
In humans what structure begins the production of sperm?
The testicles produce sperm once the male is beginning to reach sexual maturity.
What does semen contain to make the sperm cells release energy?
Semen contains fructose, which serves as an energy source for sperm cells. Fructose provides the fuel necessary for sperm motility and enables them to swim and reach the egg for fertilization.
Can sperm with no tails still get a women pregnant?
No, sperm with no tails cannot fertilize an egg and result in pregnancy. The tail is essential for sperm motility and enables them to swim towards the egg. Without a tail, the sperm would be unable to reach the egg to fertilize it.
Which cell has tail to help it move?
Sperm cells are zygotes (specialised cells with only 23 chromosomes).
What is a long hairlike structure that enables a cell to move?
A long hairlike structure that enables a cell to move is called a flagellum. Flagella are whip-like appendages that protrude from the surface of certain types of cells, such as sperm cells or certain bacteria, and help facilitate movement.
Can sperm penetrate clothing to reach the skin?
No, sperm cannot penetrate clothing to reach the skin.
When sperm reach oviduct there no egg there what happen to the sperm?
the sperm just die
How long for female sperm to reach egg?
Only males have sperm. There is no such thing as female sperm.
How is a sperm cell good at its job?
The sperm cells (spermatozoa) shape and structure makes it a specialised cell. Its tail (flagellem) enables it to swim and move easily to reach and fertilise the female egg. There are many mitochondria within the body of the cell providing it with the energy to enable it to swim. Within the head of the sperms cytoplasm a vacuole containing enzymes is present so that it can digest its way through the ovum to fertilise it.
