What is the primary difference between sperm and semen?

Semen is the genetic material, while sperm is the fluid that nourishes it.

Sperm are the male reproductive cells, while semen is the fluid that carries them.

Semen is produced in the testes, whereas sperm is produced in the prostate gland.

Sperm contains nutrients for the semen, which is the reproductive cell.

Verified step by step guidance

Understand the definitions: Sperm are the male reproductive cells, also known as spermatozoa, which are responsible for fertilizing the female egg.

Clarify the role of semen: Semen is the fluid that carries sperm. It is composed of sperm cells and various secretions from the male reproductive system, including the seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and bulbourethral glands.

Identify the production sites: Sperm are produced in the testes, specifically in the seminiferous tubules, through a process called spermatogenesis.

Recognize the composition of semen: Semen includes not only sperm but also nutrients, enzymes, and other substances that help protect and transport sperm during ejaculation.

Distinguish between the functions: Sperm's primary function is to fertilize the female egg, while semen's role is to provide a medium for sperm transport and to enhance their viability and motility.
