Due to the nature of the job, the red blood cell is subjected to a lot of stress i.e. its shape being distorted against capillary walls, high force of systemic blood flow causing cells to bounce of walls, leading to membrane breakdown and cell death.

How does hemoglobin enable red blood cells to pick up oxygen then release to other parts of the body?
The haemoglobin helps the red blood cells to the source of the oxygen, like a transport system and then once the red blood cells have the oxygen they then proceed to escort them throught the entire body. the haemoglobin is circulated and then replenished along with the new blood cells through the heart.
How does iron create red blood cells?
No - iron does not create them. However red blood cells must contain iron so it is needed for the cells to be formed.
What are the the cells that carry oxygen?
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin. These cells are also known as erythrocytes.
Do you see a nucleus in the red blood cells?
No - red blood cells do not contain a nucleus. This means that they cannot replicate, and must therefore be continuosly manufactured in the bone marrow.
What would happen if you tried to make a karyotype from isolated mature red blood cells?
You must be in genetics lab... Red blood cells do not have a nucleus therefore a karyotype cannot be assembled. The chromosomal preparations cannot be performed on the red blood cells. Thus, the reason they use white blood cells.
What blood cells contain haemoglobin?
Red blood cells because that is what carries oxygen throughout the body
What cell transports oxygen?
red blood cells
Does giving blood reduce stamina?
Temporarily, yes. Giving blood means that you lose some of your red blood cells, which are what carries oxygen from the lungs and to the muscles. With less cells to carry oxygen, your muscles will have less to work with and you will get out breath faster. Blood cells are constantly replenished however, so you'll be back to level pretty soon.
What is the major difference between red blood cells and white blood cells?
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, but white blood cells do not
Does every part of the body have red blood cells?
As the name says, red blood cells are found in the blood. If there is blood there, there is red blood cells.
How red blood cells get replaced?
The old red blood cells get replaced by the newly formed red blood cells.
How do white and red blood cell differ in structure?
white and red blood cells have 2 different shapes because they have 2 different functions in the body.
