Sperm cells require more mitochondria because it takes a lot of energy to swim up to the Fallopian tube whereas egg cells get moved by the current the ciliated epithelium lining the tube create.
No, the egg does not destroy the sperm's mitochondria. During fertilization, the sperm cell's mitochondria are typically destroyed, as the egg provides the necessary energy-producing organelles for the developing embryo.
Mitochondria are inherited from the mother through the egg cell. When a sperm fertilizes an egg, the sperm's mitochondria are typically destroyed, so the mitochondria in the resulting embryo come exclusively from the mother.
Mitochondria are located in the tail of the sperm. They provide the sperm with that whip like energy to move. They can give the energy to the sperm because mitochondria are the "powerhouse" of the cell.

Mitochondria. It takes a lot of energy to swim as far as they have to.
Sperm cells have no mitochondria.
Mitochondria are located in the tail of the sperm. They provide the sperm with that whip like energy to move. They can give the energy to the sperm because mitochondria are the "powerhouse" of the cell.
A large concentration of mitochondria are present in the tail section of the sperm. The mitochondria are the energy components, and the tail needs the energy for it's journey to fertilization.

The acrosome, which contains enzymes that help the sperm penetrate the egg, and the flagellum, which allows the sperm to swim towards the egg, are two structures found in sperm cells that are not present in animal cells.
