Question

Acrosome of sperm is derived from

• A. Golgi vesicle
• B. Lysosome
• C. Nucleus
• D. Cisternae

Answer 1

The correct option is A Golgi vesicle

Golgi apparatus produces materials for secretion, takes part in the transformation of membranes, the formation of a number of products from glycoproteins, e.g., mucin in goblet cells, complex heteropolysaccharides e.g., mucilage in root cap cells, hormones in plant cells as well as acrosome in sperms and lysosomal vesicles. Acrosome is a cap-like structure which contains digestive enzymes. The digestive enzymes in acrosome help in piercing the ovum.
