Each sperm cell also has a haploid nucleus. It has a tail (for motility) which propels it through the cervix , uterus and fallopian tube towards the egg. And each one has many mitochondria (where respiration occurs) to release the energy needed for its journey.
Sperm cells also have special enzymes, called acrosomes, which allow them to break through the cell membrane of the egg.
Sperms are more active than eggs so they have more mitochondria.
