Erythrocytes, or red blood cells, do contain ATP, but they are not particularly rich in it compared to other cell types. Their primary function is to transport oxygen and carbon dioxide, and they rely on anaerobic glycolysis for energy, producing ATP in the process. However, due to their lack of mitochondria, erythrocytes have a limited capacity for ATP production and rely on glucose from plasma for their energy needs.
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.
Skeletal muscle is rich in ATP as it is the primary energy source for muscle contraction and movement. Skeletal muscle has high energy demands and relies on ATP for fuel during exercise and physical activity.

The end product of glycolysis in erythrocytes is pyruvate. This is because erythrocytes lack mitochondria, so they are unable to proceed with aerobic metabolism and generate ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. Instead, pyruvate is converted to lactate in order to regenerate NAD+ and allow glycolysis to continue producing ATP in the absence of oxygen.

Mitochondria use rich organic compounds, glucose, to produce ATP.

erythrocytes
No. Erythrocytes are produced by bone marrow.
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy-rich molecule produced by cellular respiration that directly powers cell work. ATP is generated during the process of glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
