Question:

Secretions of male accessory glands constitute the seminal plasma . It is rich in which of the following options?

Options:

Only fructose and calcium but has no enzymes.

Fructose but poor in calcium.

Fructose, calcium and certain enzymes .

None of these

Correct Answer:

Fructose, calcium and certain enzymes .

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3)- Fructose, calcium and certain enzymes .

The secretions of male accessory glands that constitute seminal plasma are rich in "Fructose, calcium, and certain enzymes."

Seminal plasma, which forms the majority of semen, is a fluid that combines with spermatozoa (sperm cells) during ejaculation. It is produced by various male accessory glands, such as the seminal vesicles, prostate gland, and bulbourethral glands.

The seminal plasma contains various components that support sperm survival, motility, and fertility. It includes fructose as an energy source for spermatozoa, providing them with the necessary fuel for their movement. Additionally, seminal plasma contains calcium ions, which also play a role in sperm motility and activation.

Moreover, seminal plasma contains various enzymes and other substances that help in sperm function and the reproductive process.

Therefore, among the options provided, the correct description of the constituents found in seminal plasma is "Fructose, calcium, and certain enzymes."
