RBCs lack cellular organelles because they are non-nucleated cells. They contain hemoglobin which only transports oxygen so, lacking organelles.

∙ 11y agoa RCB lacks cellular organelles because its main function is to transpor oxygen, and for this it contains hemoglobin. it is astimated that a RBC contains about 2 billion hemoglobin cells.
to carry out the main funtion for which a RBC is made all its other organells are absent.
A RBC on the other hand has a nucleus when it is formed but brfore entering the blood stream the RBC loses it. this is mainly because the main function of the nucleus is to divide the cell and the RBCs are already being produced in the lower part of the vertibra,

Does mature RBCs rely on anaerobic glycolysis?
Yes. Mature RBCs lack the necessary organelles to perform any other processes besides glycolysis. They rely on anaerobic glycolysis for energy.
Can cellular metabolism occur within organelles?
Yes, I would say that most cellular metabolism does occur within organelles.
What is the cellular organelles that perform cellular respiration to produce energy for the cell?
mitochondria
What does a lysosome do in a cell?
Found in animal cells, lysosomes are cellular organelles that contain enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris, including old organelles.
Which organelles are most directly responsible for cellular respiration?
The mitochondria is most closely involved in cellular respiration!
Procaryotic cells lack cellular what?
organelles
Does mature RBCs rely on anaerobic glycolysis?
Yes. Mature RBCs lack the necessary organelles to perform any other processes besides glycolysis. They rely on anaerobic glycolysis for energy.
What organelles undergo cellular respiration?
Mitochondria are the organelles where cellular respiration occurs.
why viruses are acellur?
Viruses are acellular, which means they don't have a cellular structure. As a result, they lack the majority of cell components such as organelles, ribosomes, and the plasma membrane.
Can cellular metabolism occur within organelles?
Yes, I would say that most cellular metabolism does occur within organelles.
What is the cellular organelles that perform cellular respiration to produce energy for the cell?
mitochondria
What are the cellular organelles that can self replicate?
Mitochondria
Which organelles are involved in cellular respiration?
Mitochondria are the organelles most involved in cellular respiration. They are responsible for generating ATP, the cell's energy currency, through the process of oxidative phosphorylation. Other organelles like the cytoplasm and endoplasmic reticulum play supporting roles in cellular respiration by providing substrates or enzymes needed for the process.
What does a lysosome do in a cell?
Found in animal cells, lysosomes are cellular organelles that contain enzymes that break down waste materials and cellular debris, including old organelles.
What are the charateristics of monera?
Monera do not have nuclear membrane and they also lack membrane bound cellular organelles. This Monera includes bacteria, cyanobacteria, and mycoplasma. They are unicellular organisms and do not have a certain mode of nutrition.
What organelles are used in the cell for cellular respiration?
mitochondrion:):p:D
What organelles will be easily seen when you examine your cheek cells?
The larger organelles, such as nucleus, mitochondria, and cellular membrane.
