Spherical bi-concave disc. This shape is due to the absence of a nucleus.
a red blood cell is like a disc with a dent in the middle.it is known to be a cell without a nucleus.however,young red blood cells do have a nucleus,just as the grow older,they loose it.blood contains hemoglobin which contains iron which gives blood its metalish smell.however in rare cases,the red blood cell is shaped like a sickle due to chromosomes,resulting in what we call sickle cell anemia
Biconcave Disc Shape
it is kinda shaped like a doughnut but the center isn't totally gone
The shape of RBC (Red Blood Cells) are Biconcave disc-shaped cells
You can see pictures by following the related links below.
A general description though: a mint with a slightly indented middle on both sides....
That's so that it can carry oxygen to the cells...
A red blood cell is shaped like a concave disc. In easier terms it's shaped like a doughnut but without a complete hole in the middle.
A red blood cell that is spiky and misshapen shows signs of sickle-cell anemia.
red blood cells are elliptically shaped cells which have a conaved middle from both sides how ever there are many types of cells the discussed above is the most common one

Is there a size difference between red and white blood cells?
red blood cells are disc shaped while white blood cells have no permanent shape.
What is the advantage of the biconcave shape of the red blood cells?
The advantage of red blood cells' biconcave shape is that the surface area is increased to allow more haemoglobin to be stored in the cell. This means that the red blood cells can acquire a greater volume of oxygen than if they had a flatter membrane.
Do the round shape of blood cells give then extra surface area?
The round shape of blood cells are round so they can fit through tiny places in your body. Red blood cells are in your body so are white blood cells. White blood cells fight diseases.
Describe a red Blood cell?
If someone asked you to describe a red blood cell, the first thing you should tell them is that red blood cells do not have a nucleus. Red blood cells are elastic. They are normally the shape of a disc, but can be squeezed into a bell shape.

Which cells in your body can change their shape?

What is the advantage of the biconcave shape of the red blood cells?
