Pretty sure it's to increase the surface area

Why camel's RBC are nucleated?
Mammalian RBC is always enucleated [Without nucleus] without any EXCEPTION The mammalian RBC is also biconcave and DISCOIDAL except Camel and Llama, which have Oval shaped RBC
What are the advantages of biconcave shape of rbc?
It will be able to store more haemoglobin.
What is most related to biconcave disc hemoglobinand erythropoietin?
They are related to red blood cells.erithropoeitin triggers the RBC production.
What are the characteristics of the RBC?
Assuming you mean human red blood cells (RBC), there are several "special" things about RBCs. RBCs do not have a nucleus, and they have a distinct shape-biconcave disks. That means they are shaped sort of like a donut, but without an actual hole in the center, just indentations. Sickle-cell anemia, for example, is so named because the RBCs of people with sickle-cell anemia are shaped like sickles. These unusually shaped cells have a harder time moving through the capillaries and transporting oxygen.
Explain the struture of red blood cell?
red blood cells have a biconcave shaped
What shape best describes a red blood cell?
A red blood cell is disc-shaped with a thin center and thicker edges, resembling a biconcave disc. This shape allows for flexibility and more surface area for oxygen exchange.
What are two physiological advantages of red blood cell structure?
There shape confers them a degree of flexibility as some capillaries are smaller than the diameter of a RBC. Secondly, the biconcave shape of the RBC gives it an ideal surface area to volume ratio for maximum gas exchange.
What is the shape name of red blood cells?
biconcave (A.N)
Erythrocytes show various form of haemolysis in a hypotonic solution?
rbcs usually becomes swollen or haemolyse in hypotonic solution, this is due to osmosis. In this case, the concentration of solute is more inside the rbc, hence it exerts osmotic pressure which draws water from lower osmotic solution. The rbc swells to its limit because of its biconcave structure and burst after crossing its limit (haemolysis)
What are the features to the RBC?
RBC also refers as erythrocytes principal means of delivering oxygen(O2) to the body tissues via the blood flow through the circulatory system.Main features of RBC are as follows:Cells cytoplasm is rich in hemoglobin(an iron containing molecule) that can bind oxygen and is responsible for the blood,s red colorMature cells are flexible biconcave disks that lack a cell nucleus and most organellesWhen RBC undergo shearstress in constricted vessels,they release ATP which causes the vessel walls to relax and dilate so as to promote normal blood flow
What cellular component would be responsible for the classic shape of a red blood cell?
The red blood cell's biconcave shape is primarily maintained by the flexible plasma membrane. The cytoskeleton, particularly the protein spectrin, plays a key role in supporting and stabilizing this unique shape under changing conditions.
Which cells are shaped like pinched disks?
Red blood cells are typically shaped like pinched disks, also known as biconcave discs. This unique shape allows them to carry oxygen efficiently through the bloodstream.
