Question

Describe a sperm cell. How does each structure contribute to the sperm's function? please this should be at least 150 words, I will be MARKING as BRIANILIST , please don't copy from Google, thank you so much. ​

Answer 1

A sperm cell is the male reproductive sex cell. Sperm cells of different animal species have different shapes and structures. In humans it consists of two major parts, the head and the tail. The head is flat and almond-shaped. The head contains the nucleus which carries genetic substances called chromosomes. One sperm cell contains half the number of chromosomes the species has. Humans have 46 chromosomes so each sperm cell has 23. The sperm cells also carry the X or Y chromosome that determines the sex of the future child.

The tail of the sperm, sometimes called the flagellum, is a slender, hairlike bundle of filaments that connects to the head. It whips and undulates so that the cell can travel to the egg. Following sperm deposition in the female reproductive tract, activation of tail movement is suppressed until the sperm is carried to within a relatively short distance of the egg. This gives the sperm an increased chance of reaching the egg before exhausting its energy supplies.

Answer 2

A sperm is a gamete male or a sex cell. It joins with the female gamete, called an ovule, to create a zygote. The process of formation is called fertilization.There are two parts to the sperm cell, the head and the tail. The arrangement of the sperm makes it ideally built for the efficiency of its purpose. The tail of the sperm helps give it the momentum it needs to reach the egg cell, so that the embryo can be created first. The sperm develops a tail and sheds the excess cytoplasm of the shaft. When the sperm is full, the tail will spin like a propeller such that the sperm will move itself forward. Mitochondria in the linking component generates the energy ( ATP) required to travel.The sperm cell is made up of the head, body (mid-section) and tail. Each of these parts is equipped with different molecules and a smaller structure that enables the sperm to function properly as a whole. Mature sperm cell (sperm cells) is 0.05 milliliters wide. It's made up of the head, body and tail. The head is covered by the ac-cap and contains a dense genetic material nucleus of the 23 chromosomes.

hope this helped!
