An acrosome is a small protrusion that contains enzymes at the head of a sperm that functions to aid the sperm cell in penetrating the egg.
Study with Quizlet and memorise flashcards containing terms like What components make up the sperm head?, How is the nucleus of the sperm head shaped? Why is it shaped this way?, Acrosome and others.
The acrosome is one of the main components of a sperm cell overlying the nucleus. It's located on the anterior part of the sperm head where it serves a number of important roles related to fertilization.
