THEORY ANSWERS

(1ai)
A sperm cell consists of a head, middle piece and a whip-like tail. At the anterior end of the head is a structure called Acrosome. This Acrosome contains a liquid which facilitates the entry of the sperm into an egg. The middle piece contains numerous mitochondria which are involved in producing energy needed for propelling the sperm after ejaculation. The tail is for movement.
(1aii)
A palisade cell contain chloroplasts which makes them a site of photosynthesis in the leaves of those that plants that contain them, converting the light to the chemical energy. Beneath the palisade mesophyll are the spongy mesophyll cells, which also perform photosynthesis. They allow the passage of gases through the intercellular spaces in them.
