Erythrocytes, or red blood cells, are actually biconcave disc-shaped cells that lack nuclei in their mature form, allowing for maximum surface area to facilitate gas exchange. They are rich in hemoglobin, which is responsible for oxygen transport, rather than ATP. While erythrocytes do produce some ATP through anaerobic metabolism, their primary function is not ATP production but rather the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the bloodstream.
