Solution
The organelle in question is the Acrosome. The acrosome is an organelle that develops over the anterior half of the head in the spermatozoa (sperm cells) of many animals including humans. It is a cap-like structure derived from the Golgi apparatus. The acrosome contains hydrolytic enzymes such as acrosin. These
