Detailed Solution

The male accessory glands are the paired seminal vesicles, the prostate and the paired bulbourethral glands.
The secretions of these glands constitute the seminal plasma.
NCERT states that the seminal plasma is rich in fructose, calcium and certain enzymes.
Fructose is the energy source for the sperms; the sugar present is not glucose.
Hence seminal plasma is rich in fructose, calcium and certain enzymes.
