Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The midpiece of the sperm contains densely packed mitochondria which provide the energy required for the sperm to swim towards the egg. The acrosome is a sac-like structure located at the head of the sperm containing enzymes required for fertilization. The head contains the genetic material in the form of chromosomes. The flagellum is the long tail-like structure used for locomotion. The cap is not a structure in the sperm.
