Mitochondria are the cell organelles which produce energy for the cell , to perform it's basic activities.
Now, RBCs are designed for the maximum carriage of oxygen throughout the body. So, they cannot compensate with other organelles to provide room for Haemoglobin.
So, RBCs derive energy directly through glucose, by glycolysis that takes place inside the cell. The end product is Lactic Acid or Lactate.
Thus, mitochondria are absent, since the glycolysis meets the energy demands of the cell, plus, it doesn't take up the cell volume.
Hope I helped.

Which animal can respire in absence of oxygen?
There are quite a few animals that can respire in the absence of oxygen. One of these animals is the hippo.
What organisms do NOT depend on mitochondria to survive?
Prokaryotes and anerobic bacteria respire anerobically.So they do not depend on mitochondria.
Do plant cells contain a mitochondria?
Of course they have. Thy have to respire too
What would happen if mitochondria are present in RBCs?
RBC's transport oxygen from lungs to other organs at all the RBC were to have mitochondria then they would use up all the oxygen which had to be carried to other organs coz mitochondria require oxygen for ATP synthesis. But the RBC don't have mitochondria instead they generate all the energy(ATP) by glycolysis using glucose.
How do mitochondria respire?
It intake glucose and O2.They are used to make ATP.
In witch the mitochondria is absence in mature RBC?
Mitochondria is absence in mature RBC of eukaryotic cell. RGUKT IIIT NUZVID: N091528

Does an animal or plant cell have mitochondria?
They are in both. Both need mitochondria to respire
What organisms do NOT depend on mitochondria to survive?
Prokaryotes and anerobic bacteria respire anerobically.So they do not depend on mitochondria.
Do plant cells contain a mitochondria?
Of course they have. Thy have to respire too
What are the human cells without mitochondria?
In human, mature RBC (Red Blood Corpuscles) do not have mitochondria.
Which animal can respire in vacuum?
none, because you need oxygen to respire and a vacuum is the absence of matter and oxygen is matter
Do other living things respire?
yes all living things respire, including plants. it happens in the mitochondria of the cell.
What would happen if mitochondria are present in RBCs?
RBC's transport oxygen from lungs to other organs at all the RBC were to have mitochondria then they would use up all the oxygen which had to be carried to other organs coz mitochondria require oxygen for ATP synthesis.

How do mitochondria respire?
It intake glucose and O2.They are used to make ATP.
What is the adaptations of a sperm cell?
Lots of Mitochondria to respire A tail to swim
Why RBC are not able to carry out aerobic respiration?
Because RBCs have no mitochondria, and mitochondria is necessary for aerobic respiration.
