Red blood cells, or erythrocytes, are the most common blood cells. They deliver oxygen to the body tissues through the blood flow and circulatory system. These cells' cytoplasm contain alot of hemoglobin, an iron-containing biomolecule that binds oxygen, and is what makes the blood's red color. The cell membrane is made of PROTEINS and lipids, which provides properties essential for physiological cell function (like deformability and stability) while traversing the circulatory system.

How do red blood cells and bones work together?
blood flows around the bone to make more cells
What are living organidms made of?
All living organisms are made of cells, or the littlist units of life. There are many different types of cells. (red blood cells, white blood cells)
What makes red blood cells red and able to transport oxygen?
It is the haemoglobin in the cells which allow them to carry oxygen and its also the reason they are red as haemoglobin is red.
What are the four components of the blood?
the four componets of blood are platelets, plasma, white blood cells and red blood cells.
How do red blood cells travel?
the heart pumps all of the blood includingplasma (like water)lymph (immune system)white blood cells (fight invading cells)and red blood cells (carry oxygen)the red blood cells travel through theveins (to the heart)arteries (from the heart)capillaries (distribute oxygen to cells)
Proteins on the outside of the aids virus bind to what?
proteins on the surface of red blood cells
Why are red blood cells unable to synthasize proteins?
Mature blood cells do not have a nucleus. Without this genetic material, the cells are unable to synthesize proteins.
Where are the blood type proteins found?
blood type proteins are found on the surface of the red blood cells that are like id tags
What substances does lymph have in it?
White Blood Cells, Proteins. It is almost identical to Tissue Fluid. However, it does not have Red Blood Cells.
A cell that cannot make trna?
Yes, all cells do and need to make their own proteins. All cells contain ribosomes for the absolute necessity for proteins to be present in and around the cell. However, there is an exception. Red blood cells, although they contain some ribosomes, lack a nucleus, which means that they are unable to translate any mRNA and form proteins. All the proteins that red blood cells need are formed during the making of the red blood cell.
Which one of the following substances in normally found in urine A blood proteins B red blood cells C hemoglobin D white blood cells E creatinine?
Creatinine is normally found in urine. Blood proteins, red blood cells, and hemoglobin are all abnormal findings. White blood cells would indicate an infection.
What part of the blood contains the plasma proteins?
Plasma is one of the major parts of the blood. It is the liquid that is left after the other major parts, like red blood cells and white blood cells, are removed. It contains many different essential proteins, as well as salts and sugars.
Which one of the following substances is normally found in urine white blood cells blood proteins creatinine hemoglobin red blood cells?
hemoglobin
What does a red blood cell contain?
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, primarily, although there are some other proteins included.
Which human blood group lacks proteins in the red blood cells?
Blood type O lacks the antigen proteins of A and B. Blood type O is the universal donor.
Do the formed elements of blood include defense proteins?
Formed elements of blood do not include the defense proteins known as antigens. The formed elements of blood are red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes).
What is the difference between blood and erythrocytes?
Blood is the serum, cells, platelets, and proteins, hormones, and chemicals that circulate in the blood stream. The cells that comprise blood include white blood cells and red blood cells. Red blood cells are also called erythrocytes, from the Greek erythros for "red" and cyte for "cell".Put another way, blood is the whole; erythrocytes are a part.
