How much does a single sperm cell weigh?

Question

no Google it answers please

Answer 1

About 5 pounds.

Answer 2

Joe K has it backwards.

THink about it.

A "female" sperm carries one X chromosome

A "male" sperm carries one Y chromosome.

(and all types carry the other 22 chromosomes)

We ALL know that the Y chromosme is small compared to the X chromosome.... so... Female sperm are, in fact, heavier than Male sperm.

As for their weight... well... they are VERY small... small than most cells, so... probably too small to even write out a number without it containing a lot of zeros.

Answer 3

Since there are no calories in sperm, and they are in the

millions. weigh them all, and divide by millions.

Answer 6

well that actually depends, a girl sperm actually weighs slightly less than a male sperm, thats why certain doctors can seperate the male sperm from the female sperm.
