The main difference between red blood cells and white blood cells is their function. Red blood cells primarily carry oxygen to tissues and carbon dioxide away from tissues. White blood cells are a key part of the immune system and help fight off infections and foreign invaders in the body.

The biggest difference is that a red blood cell has no nucleus where as a white blood cell does. A red blood cell has no nucleus because it needs all the space inside the cell for the haemoglobin which is stored inside it and is the oxygen attrcting chemical. White blood cells can have either a bean shaped nucleus which would make it a lymphocyte or a double lobed nucleus which would make it a phagocyte. Another difference is that white blood cells are bigger than red blood cells.
The major producer of blood cells is the bone marrow, which is found in the cavities of bones. In the bone marrow, hematopoietic stem cells give rise to red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets through a process called hematopoiesis.
Sickle cell disease is commonly referred to as sickle cell anaemia, or drepanocytosis. The blood cells that are normally round, flat, disks, are instead shaped in a tiny curved sickle shape, hence the name. The other major difference between the blood cells is the sickle shape is dramatically more rigid than healthy cells. This major difference can lead to problems clotting or blocking blood vessels in the body. There are a few distinct versions of having sickle cell disease, that are mostly distinct by the different genes that the person is carrying.
Arteries carry blood away from the heart. Veins return blood to the heart.
There are several differences between plant and animal cells. The following are three of the of the major differences:Plants have cell walls, animals don'tPlants have cells that do photosynthesis, animals don'tPlants have storage bubbles found in cells used to store nutrients and waste products. Animals have them too but they're much smaller in animals
The major difference between mitosis and meiosis is that mitosis produces two identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell, while meiosis produces four genetically unique daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
