The loss of the nucleus is all part of the red blood cell's adaptations for its function of carrying oxygen around the body. Each cell is packed with a protein called hemoglobin, which attracts oxygen very strongly when blood flows through the lungs, so can carry as much oxygen as possible.
Its other adaptation to its function is that it has a biconcave shape - this enables it to have a large surface area for picking up oxygen in the first place.
During their maturation in mammals, a red blood cells loses its nucleus, mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum, which makes them inactive metabolically.
What else can I help you with?
Does a red blood cell contain cytoplasm?
Red bllod cells dont have cytoplasm
Can cell remain alive without a nucleus?
red blood cells dont have a nucleus.
Does an animal cell have a nucleus?
Yes, all animal cells (except for mature mammalian red blood cells) contain a nucleus.Mammalian red blood cells have a nucleus initially, but do not have one once mature.yesyea ONLY animal cells have nucleus. plant cells are the kind that dont. learned that in fifth grade.
Do keratinized cells contain a nucleus?
All cells contain a nucleus, including animal cells. It does not depend what type of animal it is.Answer:animal cells do contain a nucleus but not ALL cells have a nucleus. Cells in the monera kingdom dont have one. cells in the protist kingdom do.Is the brain of the cell!
Are eucaryotic cells also bacteria?
No, eukaryotic cells imply that the cells have a "true nucleus" bacterial cells (prokaryotic) dont have a true nucleus and contain their DNA in supercoils inside the cytoplasm
What are cells that dont have a nucluise?
The first cell that springs to mind when answering your question is the Red Blood Cell, or Erythrocyte. These cells do not contain a nucleus in order that they may carry an optimum amount of oxygen around the body.Hope this helps you.
Does a red blood cell have organelles?
No. They do not. They are able to support themselves without organelles helping. They are degraded in the bone marrow so that there is more space for the hemoglobin.
Does a leaf mesophyll have a nucleus?
Yes, the leaf mesophyll does contain cells with a nucleus. Mesophyll cells are the main photosynthetic cells in plant leaves and contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis, as well as all other typical cellular components including a nucleus.
Do red blood cells have oxygen?
yes, that's why they dont have a nucleus, so that there is as much room as possible for the oxygen
Which cell don't have mitochondria in them?
RPCProkariyotic cells do not have any.Some eukariyotic cells like mammalian RBC lack mitochondria
Cells that dont have a nucleus?
virus??? Prokariotic cells, as bacteria, etc.
What organelles do eukayote cells have that prokaryote cells dont?
Prokaryotes do not have an organized nucleus, eukaryotes have nucleus
