Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Sperm, however, contain many mitochondria strategically placed where they can most efficiently power the flagellum.
Detailed explanation-2: -3) The tail of the sperm moves like a propeller, around and around. This tail is a long flagella that pushes the sperm forward.
Detailed explanation-3: -The principal piece of the sperm tail is devoid of mitochondria and enriched in glycolytic enzymes (Eddy et al., 2003; Krisfalusi et al., 2006), many of which are distinct from the isoenzymes present in somatic cells (Welch et al., 1992, 2000, 2006; Bunch et al., 1998; Vemuganti et al., 2007).
