It can't. As a result the lifespan of a RBC is about 120 days before it is worn out and phagocytized.

What does anucleate mean?

Anucleate means lacking a cell nucleus. Cells that are anucleate may contain other organelles but they do not have a nucleus, which is where genetic material is typically located. Examples of anucleate cells include red blood cells and platelets.


What proteins in the cell membrane help import biochemical reactions inside the cell?

The proteins you speak of are enzymes. Without enzymes present majority of biochemical reactions would not be able to take place. *Enzymes are a polymer of proteins.


Are chemical reactions within cell promoted by enzymes or proteins?

I guess that the correct answer to that is enzymes. Enzymes, on the other hand, are proteins. Therefore, this is also one of the functions that proteins have.


Which cell organelle controls the synthesis of enzymes?

The endoplasmic reticulum controls the synthesis of enzymes in a cell. It is responsible for assembling, storing, and transporting proteins, including enzymes, to where they are needed within the cell.


Where are proteins found in the cell?

What group of molecules are enzymes?

Most enzymes are proteins. Almost all chemical reactions in a biological cell need enzymes in order to occur at rates sufficient for life. Since enzymes are selective for their substrates and speed up only a few reactions from among many possibilities, the set of enzymes made in a cell determines which metabolic pathways occur in that cell. Enzymes are known to catalyze about 4,000 biochemical reactions.


What are the anucleate cells that function to transport oxygen to the body's cell are called?

Red blood cells, also known as erythrocytes, are anucleate cells that transport oxygen to the body's cells. They contain hemoglobin, a protein that binds to oxygen in the lungs and releases it in tissues where it is needed.


What are enzymes inside of cells called?

Enzymes are proteins, which are comprised of chains of amino acids. All enzymes are proteins (but not all proteins are enzymes)
