Question

While viewing a slide of rapidly moving sperm cells, a student concludes that these cells require a large amount of energy to maintain their activity. The organelles that most directly provide this energy are known as
(A) Ribosomes
(B) Vacoules
(C) Mitochondria
(D) Chloroplasts

Answer 1

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. Theorganelles that most directly provide this energy are known as the mitochondria. It is the power house of a cell. It is where energy is from that allow cells to survive.

Answer 2

Answer: (C) Mitochondria

Explanation:

Spermiogenesis: It is the process that converts spermatids in sperm, losing almost the entire cytoplasm. The vesicles of the Golgi complex fuse together, forming the acrosome, located at the anterior end of the sperm. The acrosome contains enzymes that pierce the membranes of the egg, in fertilization. Centrioles migrate to the region immediately after the nucleus of the spermatid and participate in flagella formation, the structure responsible for the movement of sperm.

A large quantity of mitochondria, responsible for cellular respiration production and ATP production, is responsible for the rapidly moving sperm and its located between the head and the flagella, known as the intermediate piece.
