Yes it is true that red blood cells only use glycolysis in the catabolism of glucose. Red blood cells exclusively use anaerobic respiration for energy production since these cells lack mitochondria.
Yes, but not very much. Red blood cells lack most of the typical organelles of a cell, including a nucleus and mitochondria.
No, muscle tissue doesn't produce any blood cells.
No, the thymus does not produce red blood cells. It is responsible for the development and maturation of T cells, a type of white blood cell important for immune function. Red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow.
In case of the fetus, liver produces red blood cells. Red blood cells are produced by flat bones in case of adults. Given a challenge to produce the extra red blood cells, the liver may start producing red blood cells in adults also, as a last resort.
No, teeth do not produce red blood cells. Red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow, which is a spongy tissue found inside bones. Teeth are composed of enamel, dentin, and pulp, but they do not have the capacity to generate blood cells.
Yes, but not very much. Red blood cells lack most of the typical organelles of a cell, including a nucleus and mitochondria.
Red blood cells obtain energy through a process called glycolysis, where they break down glucose to produce ATP, the energy currency of cells. This ATP helps the red blood cells carry out their important function of transporting oxygen throughout the body.

No, veins can not produce red blood cells.
The way, functional red blood cells produce energy is by fermentation, via anaerobic glycolysis of glucose followed by lactic acid production. As the cells do not own any protein coding DNA they cannot produce new structural or repair proteins or enzymes and their lifespan is limited.

Red and white blood cells produce in bones. The bone marrow produces the cells
Red blood cells require glucose as their primary source of energy to carry out functions such as transporting oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and removing waste products like carbon dioxide. Glucose is metabolized in the red blood cells to produce ATP, which is essential for maintaining their structure and function.
