5. What is the main source of energy for sperm in the ejaculate?

A. Testosterone

B. Fructose

C. Androgen-binding proteins

D. Prostate-specific antigen

E. Fibrinolysin

ANSWERS

Correct Answer: A. Prostatic urethra. The excretory ducts of seminal vesicles
join the vas deferens to form the ejaculatory ducts that enter the prostate gland

and empty their secretions into the prostatic urethra.

Correct Answer: B. Seminal vesicles. The sucrose becomes the main source of
energy for sperm motility.

Correct Answer: E. Mucous secretions from the bulbourethral glands. Their

secretion enters the penile urethra, lubricates the penile urethra, and neutralizes
the acidity of the urethra.

Correct Answer: D. Mucous secretions from the bulbourethral glands.

Correct Answer: B. Fructose. This chemical is produced by the seminal
