DESCRIPTION:Sperm actively propel themselves toward the egg an
 d penetrate its vestments through the action of th
 e beating flagellum. The energetic requirements of
  flagellar beating\, and in particular the require
 ments for energy to be supplied to the distal flag
 ellum\, remain unresolved. We investigate these en
 ergetic requirements via elastohydrodynamic modell
 ing and image analysis of human sperm\, with parti
 cular reference to the role of the passive elastic
  structures of the flagellum.
