The concave disc shape of red blood cells maximizes the surface area of the cell, allowing for rapid movement of oxygen or carbon dioxide to and from the hemoglobin within the cell. The cell has no nucleus, and few organelles, as it does not reproduce.
Biconcave shape makes it closer to walls of the capillaries
Liquid medium to be pushed around the body .Cell is flexible and its size is nearly same as bore of capillary to pass through .
Their shape can really help them do their job bdcause of their shape and different kind of blood vessel the shape wouldn't be able to help them do their job. The small round ahape helps the blood cells an d vessels through the whole of the blood vessel with it's round shape.
Erythrocyte cells (red blood cell) concave disc shape is important because it provides extra surface area for the uptake of respiratory gases. Its streamlined shape allows the cell to flow easily through the bloodstream. (Human Anatomy 5th Edition, Mareib, Mallatt, Wilhelm)
Being flattened increases their surface area as compared to a spherical cell. Since oxygen is absorbed at the surface, this shape makes them more efficient at absorbing oxygen.
It allows the cell to travel through the body and absorb oxygen at the surface, proficiently.
Hope this helps (:
It allows the cell to travel throughout the body and efficiently absorb oxygen at the surface.
The biconcave shape of the red blood cell increases its surface area, this means theres a higher probability that oxygen will bind with the cell.

Collections of similar cells which work together.
Different cells are different in structure because of their different functions (e.g. plant cells have cell walls because they don't have bones). Also, cells have different functions because they work together with other cells to create a working system (e.g. the human body)
tissues are group of cell that perform a specific similar function.

Ribosomes. are. really. cool. they are the most amazing thing. the structure affects the funtion by running blood through the veins. the cells in the structure are very small.

Function describes what cells do; in a multi-cellular organism the function is why the cell exists. And the structure makes it possible for a cell to perform its function.
Red Blood Cells
Cells are both the basic units of structure andfunction.An organ is a group of tissues that work together to perform a similar function, and a tissue is a group of cells that work together to perform a similar function.
A structure made of many similar cells to perform a simple function. That function depends on what kind of cells they are made of.

Cells with similar function and/or structure make up tissues in the body.
Different cells are different in structure because of their different functions (e.g. plant cells have cell walls because they don't have bones). Also, cells have different functions because they work together with other cells to create a working system (e.g. the human body)
Its structure determines the function it has. For example, red blood cells are biconcave discs, kind of thinner in the middle and thicker around the outside. As it turns out this is the ideal surface area to volume ratio for exchanging things between the inside of the cell and outside. When you consider that the function of red blood cells to carry oxygen to the cells of the body the structure of the RBC is ideally suited to its function.
