Yes, mature erythrocytes are still cells and are still living. In most mammals the circulating red blood cells do not have nuclei, so they are unable to repair themselves when damaged and eventually die due to the accumulated damage.

What cell does not contain cytoplasm?

Mature red blood cells do not contain cytoplasm. As they mature, red blood cells lose their nucleus and organelles, including their cytoplasm, to maximize space for hemoglobin, allowing them to efficiently transport oxygen in the blood.


Do human red blood cells contain cytoplasm?

No, mature human red blood cells do not have a nucleus or organelles like cytoplasm. They are essentially bags of hemoglobin that transport oxygen in the bloodstream.

What is the difference between reticulocytes and a mature erythrocyte?

Reticulocytes are immature red blood cells containing remnants of ribosomal RNA, indicating active erythropoiesis, while mature erythrocytes lack ribosomal RNA and hemoglobin synthesis. Reticulocytes have a bluish tint and larger size compared to mature erythrocytes. Once mature, reticulocytes lose their ribosomal RNA and become fully functional erythrocytes, responsible for oxygen transport.

What is the description for erythrocytes?

A red blood cell that (in humans) is typically a biconcave disc without a nucleus. Erythrocytes contain the pigment hemoglobin, which imparts the red color to blood, and transport oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from the tissues.


Where do erythrocytes mature?

Erythrocytes, or red blood cells, mature in the bone marrow. They originate from stem cells and go through several stages of development before being released into the bloodstream to transport oxygen.


What are erythrocytes and what do they contain?

Erythrocytes (Red Blood Cells) - specialized for oxygen transport - mature erythrocytes have no nucleus instead these disk - shaped cells are packed with the respiratory pigment Hemoglobin *Hemoglobin is an iron containing molecule that binds with oxygen
