Mitochondria in the tail of the sperm for aerobic respiration?
Enzymes in the head of the sperm for breaking down the cell membrane of the egg?

Certified

The head contains genetic information and an enzyme to help penetrate the egg cell membrane. The middle section is packed with mitochondria for energy. The tail moves the sperm to the egg.

An acrosome which releases an enzyme to digest the egg membrane.
