  • Q8
    Comparing a Sperm Cell to an Animal Cell. What is the difference between the pair's mitochondria levels?
    Both cells have an equal amount of mitochondria.
    Sperm has much more Mitochondria, it is needed to help the sperm swim to the Ovum (egg).
    Animal cells have more mitochondria to help the cell membrane bring more oxygen in.
    Sperm Cells don't need mitochondria as there flagellum propel them in the female body without the need for energy.
