Cell wall, permanent vacuole, chloroplasts
What type of nucleus do sperm and egg cells contain?
Haploid
Why do sperm cells have a long tail
To swim to egg
Why do sperm cells have lots of mitochondria?
For energy for respiration to swim
Why do sperm cells have an acrosome?
To store enzymes needed to digest its way into the egg cell membrane
Why do egg cells have a cytoplasm?
To contain nutrients needed to feed an embryo
What does an egg cell membrane do after fertilisation?
Changes structure so no more sperm can enter so offspring gets the right amount of DNA
