Question

Name the cell organelle that forms acrosome of sperm.

Answer 1

acrosome is an organelle that develops over the anterior half of the head in the spermatozoa (sperm cells) of many animals including humans. It is a cap-like structure derived from the Golgi apparatus. Acrosome formation is fully completed 5–10 years after testicular maturation.

◆ Extra information -

• Golgi apparatus is a complex of vesicles and folded membranes within the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells.
• It consists of flattened, curved saccules called cisternae.

# Functions of Golgi apparatus -

1. Modification of proteins & lipids
2. Packaging of vesicles for transport
3. Formation & secretion of mucus
4. Production of lysosomes

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you..
