Structure &
Function:
haemoglobin that carries oxygen
lacks nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria
small and flexible so can squeeze along narrow capillaries
biconcave shape that gives large surface area to volume ratio

Acrosome
Function:
Nucleus
- Acrosome - contains HYDROLYTIC Head
ENZYMES DNA
called acrosine, which dissolves the
zona pellucida (see ovum), allowing Mid-piece
the sperm to penetrate the egg’s
membrane. Mitochondria
- Nucleus - HAPLOID: contains Tail
HALF the chromosomes needed
for an entire organism - 1 copy
of each chromosome (23
chromosomes) Flagellum
Midpiece
- contain MITOCHONDRIA - high
energy demand for movement of
the sperm tail. Mitochondria = site of
AEROBIC RESPIRATION therefore
release ATP to allow the tail to move
Tail / Undulopodium
- made of protein fibers that
contract on alternative sides, giving
a characteristic wavelike
movement
