Best Answer

White blood cells are larger.

White blood cells range in size from 7-21 micrometers in diameter.

Red blood cells are typically 6-8 micrometers in diameter.

However, RBCs are more prevalent, accounting for 25% of the volume of blood, whereas WBC's only account for 1%.

What is the major difference of a red blood cell and a white blood cell?

The biggest difference is that a red blood cell has no nucleus where as a white blood cell does. A red blood cell has no nucleus because it needs all the space inside the cell for the haemoglobin which is stored inside it and is the oxygen attrcting chemical. White blood cells can have either a bean shaped nucleus which would make it a lymphocyte or a double lobed nucleus which would make it a phagocyte. Another difference is that white blood cells are bigger than red blood cells.
