The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Acrosome and its membrane is called:", we need to analyze each option provided and determine which one correctly identifies the acrosome and its membrane. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Acrosome**: The acrosome is a cap-like structure that covers the anterior part of the sperm's head. It contains enzymes that help the sperm penetrate the egg during fertilization. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **(a) Nebenkern**: This term refers to a structure involved in the formation of mitochondria in sperm, particularly in insects. It does not relate to the acrosome or its membrane. - **(b) Galea capitis**: This term is known to refer to the acrosome itself. It is located at the tip of the sperm's nucleus and includes a thin membrane. Thus, this option is relevant to the question. - **(c) Germinal vesicle**: This term refers to the nucleus of an oocyte (egg cell) and is not related to the acrosome. - **(d) Manchette**: This term describes a temporary collar-like structure in the sperm head but does not refer to the acrosome or its membrane. 3. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: Based on the analysis, option (b) Galea capitis is the correct answer as it specifically refers to the acrosome and its membrane. ### Final Answer: (b) Galea capitis
