Question

which of the following choices would not be a function of the secretions of the male reproductive glands?
a activate sperm
b nourish sperm
c neutralize acidic ph
d lubrication

Explanation:

• The male reproductive glands (such as the prostate gland, seminal vesicles, and bulbourethral glands) secrete fluids that nourish sperm (seminal vesicles provide nutrients like fructose), neutralize the acidic pH (prostate fluid helps with this as the female reproductive tract has an acidic environment), and lubrication (bulbourethral glands secrete a lubricating fluid).
• Sperm activation mainly occurs in the female reproductive tract through processes like capacitation and is not a function of the male reproductive gland secretions.

Answer:

A. activate sperm
