What mature cells have a nucleus?
lymphocyte.monocyte ,erythrocyte .neutrophil
How do the proteins created in RBCs differ from the proteins in the muscle cells?
They have a different amino acid sequence.
Does mature human red blood cells fight pathogens?
No, they don't fight pathogens, they just transport oxygen around the body. It is the white blood cells called neutrophils and monocytes which are involved in phagocytosis, and thereby fighting pathogens.
When are red blood cells used in a blood transfusion?
They are given to people who have anemia (including thalassemia ), whose bone marrow does not make enough RBCs, or who have other conditions that decrease the number of RBCs in the blood.
What do red blood cells form?
Multipotent hematopoietic stem cells------> Myeloid stem cells------>Reticulocytes----->RBCs
What mature cells have a nucleus?
lymphocyte.monocyte ,erythrocyte .neutrophil
How do the proteins created in RBCs differ from the proteins in the muscle cells?
They have a different amino acid sequence.
Does mature RBCs rely on anaerobic glycolysis?
Yes. Mature RBCs lack the necessary organelles to perform any other processes besides glycolysis. They rely on anaerobic glycolysis for energy.
At what extent does the human erythrocyte meet the definition of a eukaryotic cell?
Strictly speaking a mature erythrocyte is not a cell. The ethimology of eukariote is true nucleus... mature RBCs do not have nuclei so they are not cells. However, there are some stagesin their devleopment in which they have nuclei and some other organelles... I gues it depends on which stage you are interested in.
Does mature human red blood cells fight pathogens?
No, they don't fight pathogens, they just transport oxygen around the body. It is the white blood cells called neutrophils and monocytes which are involved in phagocytosis, and thereby fighting pathogens.
Why can't red blood cells produce repair enzymes?
Red blood cells lose their nucleus when they mature, along with all their DNA. As such they cannot make any new proteins or enzymes once they mature, and would not have any DNA repair enzymes.
What blood cells contain hemoglobin?
Red blood cells.
Which cells in your body can change their shape?
White blood cells in our body change their shape.
Does red blood cells have DNA?
They do. Mammals are the only vertebrates without a nucleus in their erythrocytes.
What kind of marrow produces blood cells.?
Red Blood cells (RBCs).
When are red blood cells used in a blood transfusion?
They are given to people who have anemia (including thalassemia ), whose bone marrow does not make enough RBCs, or who have other conditions that decrease the number of RBCs in the blood.
What are the most blood cells?
Red blood cells are by far the most abundant cells in the blood. There are an average of 2,830,000 RBCs per cubic millimeter (microliter). RBCs account for approximately 40 to 45 percent of the blood. This percentage of blood made up of RBCs is a frequently measured number and is called the hematocrit. The ratio of cells in normal blood is 600 RBCs for each white blood cell and 40 platelets.
