Sperm use energy from the sugar fructose, which is found in seminal fluid, to power their movement through a process called glycolysis. This process breaks down fructose to produce ATP, a molecule that provides energy for the sperm to swim towards the egg.

What is the movement of sperm the male reproductive system?

After sperm is produced, it travels through the testes through sperm ducts that circle the bladder, a gland called the seminal vesicle provides sperm with a fluid. This fluid supplies the sperm with an energy source and helps them move.


What supplies energy to move through a circuit?

A battery


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.


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.


What supplys energy to move electricity through a circuit?

A battery supplies energy to move electricity through a circuit (Remember, a circuit is a wire.)


What does the middle of sperm do?

It contains the mitochandia which releases energy for the flagellum (tail) to move.


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.


Where do sperm fully mature as they receive fructose to provide them energy to be able to use their tails to move?

Sperm fully mature in the epididymis, a coiled tube located on the back of each testicle. The fructose that provides energy for sperm to move their tails is produced by the seminal vesicles and released into the semen, which nourishes and supports sperm during ejaculation.

What substance gives energy to a sperm?

The main substance that provides energy to a sperm cell is adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is produced through cellular respiration, which involves breaking down sugars like glucose to release energy that the sperm cell can use to move and fertilize an egg.


What part of the sperm cell contains mitochondria that supplies energy to the flagella?

Mitochondria are in mid part of sperm.They gives energy to swim.


What is the object called that supplies energy to move current through a circuit?

The object is called a power source, such as a battery or a generator, which provides the energy needed to move current through a circuit.
