Practice Question

The fructose found in the liquid secreted by the seminal vesicles serves as an energy source for sperm motility after ejaculation.

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

True

Rationale:

⮚ The seminal vesicles secrete a fluid that is rich in fructose, which serves as the primary energy source for sperm.

⮚ This fructose allows sperm to maintain motility after ejaculation, giving them the strength and endurance to swim toward the ovum.

⮚ Without this energy supply, sperm would not have the metabolic support required to reach the egg, reducing the chances of successful fertilization.

⮚ Thus, the secretion of fructose by the seminal vesicles plays an essential role in promoting male fertility.
