Do sperm have Mitochondria?


Open in App
Solution

Mitochondria:

  1. The majority of the chemical energy required to drive a cell's metabolic operations is produced by mitochondria, which are membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular).
  2. About 50 to 75 mitochondria are located in the middle of the spermatozoon.
  3. The mitochondria in sperm are fundamentally identical to those in somatic cells in terms of both structure and function.
  4. The location of respiration, or the process by which glucose is converted to energy, is the mitochondria.
  5. Sperm cells need a lot of energy to go toward the egg in order to fertilize it, hence they need a lot of mitochondria to power them.
  6. Mitochondria are located in the center of sperm. It is necessary to supply the sperm with the energy to move.
