Sperm Cells are gametes or sex cells. They only have 23 chromosomes in humans & are 1 of 2 gametes that when joined form a zygote, a fertilized oocyte. They are used to reproduce. Sperm are not alive & only become living when 1 fertilizes an egg. Bacteria are living organisms that reproduce through binary fission, a form of asexual reproduction. Bacteria can live for weeks in contrast Sperm become useless with in a few minutes. The primary function of Bacteria is to reproduce, while the primary function of Sperm is to fertilize an ovum, & carry out the task of reproducing for the organism from which it originated.
