Why are red blood cells concave?
Red blood cells are concave to increase their surface area, allowing for more efficient uptake and release of oxygen and carbon dioxide. This shape also gives the cells flexibility to squeeze through narrow blood vessels without rupturing.
What advantage does the red blood cells has for not containing organelles?
increase surface area so that advantage in containing haemoglobin
Why do red blood cells have a dent?
Red blood cells are concaved (dented) to increase surface area. Their shape also allows them to bend and squeeze into and through those tiny little capillary blood vessels.
How does the folds in the mitochondria relate to a cells efficiency in energy production?
The folds in the cristae increase the surface area, so cellular respiration can occur more efficiently.
Is leukemia an increase or decrease of white blood cells?
Leukemia is an increase in the number of abnormal white blood cells in the bloodstream. These abnormal cells do not function properly and can crowd out normal white blood cells, leading to a weakened immune system.
What happens to red blood cells at high elevations?
Polycythemia or an increase in red blood cells
How efficient is magnetic therapy?
Magnetic therapy is relatively efficient. It functions by using strong magnetic fields to reverse blood clotting, ionize the blood and increase the efficiency of the cells by exposing them to a strong magnetic field.
Which type of red blood cells lack a nucleus?
The red blood cells. This is because it will increase surface area for the absorption of oxygen.
Give the name of the type of plant cell that absorbs water and nitrogen?
Root hair cells are the type of plant cell that absorbs water and nitrogen from the soil. These cells are found along the surface of the plant root and have a large surface area to increase absorption efficiency.
What waste product builds up in blood and cells when the heart is unable to pump blood efficiency?
fat
A normal structure of red blood cell?
The basic structure of red blood cells is that they have a bi-concave shape to increase surface area, and lack a nucleus so that more haemoglobin can be packed in.
Do all white blood cells retain their nucleus throughout the life of the cell?
No, not all white blood cells retain their nucleus throughout their life. Some white blood cells, such as lymphocytes and monocytes, maintain their nucleus throughout their lifespan to support their functions, while others, like neutrophils, eject their nucleus as they mature to increase their efficiency in fighting infections.
