They're not really alive, all they are is a bag of hemoglobin.
The RBC's have no nucleolus and are not metabolically active.
The don't have a nucleus.
There are actually many animals such as vertebrates that have red blood cells. Some simpler animals have an open circulatory system.
Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the whole body while white blood cells help fight disease by making "anti-bodies" to fight invaders
They have very different jobs. Red blood cells travel around the body to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the cells that need them, and they also take back what the cell doesn't need.
White blood cells help to fight and consume bacteria, viruses, and anything else that attacks the body.
red blood cells carry oxygen white blood cells fight infections etc
Red blood cells:
- Contain hemoglobin which gives it its red color
- Carries oxygen
- Has no nucleus
- Are regularly shaped in a disc
- Make up about 45% of blood
White blood cells:
- Come in many different types (neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, lymphocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells)
- Mainly are used to fight infection
- Are irregularly shaped
- Are surrounded by a white "buffy coat" (hence the name)
- Make up less than 1% of blood
Red blood cells transport oxygen while the white blood cells protect our body from bad bacteria,viruses,germs,etc.
well for one , white blood cells fight off bad germs in your body. Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the whole body while white blood cells help fight disease by making "anti-bodies" to fight invaders
They are unusual because they have no organelles like a nucleus. This allows them to be packed full of hemoglobin, the molecule that binds to oxygen. Because they have no organelles, they can not repair themselves and become battered and torn by 120 days and they must be recycled.
Red blood cells are the only ones with no nucleus.
white blood cells help fight germs and diseases inside of you. red blood sells are just cool and chill and watch the battle :D
Red blood cells all look like red blood cells. White cells have different shapes mainly because they have different functions.
Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, and Platelets.
white blood cells and red blood cells
Different cells have different parts, depending on their job in the body. That's why red blood cells differ from white blood cells; a red blood cell has mitochondria and vacuoles. The white one does not.
In the heart.
No there are white blood cells, red blood cells, (and I'm not sure if there are others) and they all have different purposes and jobs. white blood cells protect red blood cells from getting infected. if a red blood cell is infected then the white blood cells get rid of it.
white kills things, red brings nutrients. learn to google and wikipedia
white and red blood cells have 2 different shapes because they have 2 different functions in the body.
red blood cells,white blood cells,and muscle cells.
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, but white blood cells do not
red blood cells, white blood cells, skin cells, sperm cells and egg cells
Red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and liquid plasma.Red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and liquid plasma.
