Why do sperm have mitochondria in the midpoint?
Mitochondria are organelles that produce energy. If the "midpoint" of a sperm is where the flagellum attaches to the head of the sperm, then the mictochondria are there to provide energy needed to move the flagellum, therefor moving the sperm.
Does the head of the sperm cell contain the genetic info?
Yes.
Why sperm cells contain large numbers of mitochondria?
It requires a lot of energy for a sperm cell to travel through to meet with the ovum. For this reason, the sperm cells doesn't contain any organelles except for a few mitochondria. The rest of the organelles are inherited from the ovum.
What is the average number of mitochondria in human sperm?
there is no specific number or amount of mitochondria it varies dependent on your age and gender. however they can be increase through training of the muscles especially strength training the most common form of this is free weights.
What is the mitochondria in the sperm used for?
Mitochondria are located in the tail of the sperm. They provide the sperm with that whip like energy to move. They can give the energy to the sperm because mitochondria are the "powerhouse" of the cell.
Do both cells contain mitochondria?
sperm does
Does a spermcell contain mitochondria?
A large number of mitochondria power the flagella of sperm cells.
Does sperm contain mitocondria?
Yes, sperm contain mitochondria. These organelles are important to get enough energy for the movement of the flagellum.

How does the sperm's structure help it function?
Sperm are similar to tiny rockets. They have a head with DNA in it and a tail to propel it. Around the tail, by the head, there are mitochondria which are what make the tail drive the head.
What does it mean an energy flagellum?
it is the 'tail' of some cells, for example the sperm cell. flagellums that contain mitochondria (like the sperm) cell are known as energy flagellum, as the mitochondria in them energy for activities such as movement (or swimming to the ovum for the sperm cell)
Does the head of the sperm cell contain the genetic info?
Yes.

What organelle is most abundant in the sperm cell?
Mitochondria. It takes a lot of energy to swim as far as they have to.
What is the average number of mitochondria in human sperm?
there is no specific number or amount of mitochondria it varies dependent on your age and gender. however they can be increase through training of the muscles especially strength training the most common form of this is free weights.
What is function of mitochondria in sperm?
The mitochondria provide energy to the sperm's 'tail' (flagellum) so that it can move, and propel the sperm cell forward.
What is the mitochondria in the sperm used for?
Mitochondria are located in the tail of the sperm. They provide the sperm with that whip like energy to move. They can give the energy to the sperm because mitochondria are the "powerhouse" of the cell.
