Q

The function of Sperm Cell

A

Its head has a nucleus that carries DNA from an egg
Middle has mitochondria for movement
Tail which is used for movement
The nucleus which has a mixture of sperm cell DNA to make a zygote
RER, SER, and Golgi all need it because they are new cells

Q

Function of WBC

A

The cell membrane will reach out to grab invaders
to eat invaders
Lysosomes Digest invaders
Ribosomes on the RER, sent to Golgi in vesicles, then to the cell membrane.
Make antibodies and get invaders out of the cell.
