Solution:

The sperm can be divided into four parts:
(i) Head : consists of an elongated haploid nucleus storing genetic material and at tip of the head is acrosome, which consist of various hydrolysing enzymes.
(ii) Neck: It is very short and consists of two centrioles.
(iii) Middle piece : It is cylindrical in human sperm and consists of mitochondria, which provides energy for movement of sperm inside female reproductive tract. The energy provided by mitochondria can help sperm survive $1-2$ days.
(iv) Tail : It is long, slender and consists of cytoplasm. It helps in providing sperm with motility.
