Male Reproductive System

Question 13 • *GV 2018 - P.E. Health Science Concepts - PE361

Why are the secretions from the seminal vesicles alkaline?

Answer
A
Sperm acquire energy from alkaline substances.
B
Sperm cannot survive in an acidic environment.
C
Sperm move more quickly in an alkaline environment.
D
The female reproductive system does not allow acidic substances.

Explanation

Secretions from the seminal vesicles help neutralize acidity in the male urethra and female reproductive tract. Sperm are sensitive to acidic conditions and are less likely to survive in them, so the alkaline fluid provides a more suitable environment. Therefore, the correct choice is “Sperm cannot survive in an acidic environment.”
