  • The acrosome at the tip of the head contains an enzyme needed to penetrate into the egg cell.
  • The 'head' contains the sperm cell's nucleus. The nucleus carries one half of an organism's genetic material.
    • The flagellum acts as a tail and is used for the cell's motion.
    • This allows sperm cells to travel towards the egg cell.
    • The middle section is filled with mitochondria to provide the sperm with the energy it needs to travel a long distance to reach the egg cell.
