SPERM STRUCTURE
4 MAIN PARTS:
- TAIL- Back of sperm, flagellum structure that propels the sperm
- MIDPIECE- Contains mitochondria that provide the sperm with ATP energy (functionality, motility, etc.)
- ACROSOME- Makes up majority of the front of sperm, contains special lysosome-like digestive enzymes that will digest outer layers of the egg during fertilization
- HEAD- The front of the sperm structure that contains the acrosome and haploid nucleus (DNA)
