When red blood cells are destroyed they release heme, a prosthetic group, that consists of iron. Iron is used to reproduce red blood cells in bone marrow. Red blood cells usually are reproduced in bone marrow.
What else can I help you with?
Does the destruction of red blood cells release heme to reproduce in bone marrow?
Red blood cells can not reproduce because they do not have a nucleus like all other cells. Red blood cells last at least 3-4 months. When they are destroyed, heme (consisting of iron) is released; the iron is used to reproduce red blood cells.
Are red blood cells an organism?
No, red blood cells are not considered organisms because they lack organelles, a nucleus, and the ability to reproduce on their own. They are specialized cells responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body.
Why can't red blood cells reproduce?
Red blood cells lack a nucleus, which is necessary for cell division and reproduction. This absence of a nucleus means they are unable to make new copies of themselves through the process of cell division. Instead, red blood cells are constantly produced by the bone marrow to replace old or damaged cells.
What blood cell in the kidney secrets bed blood cells?
Cells within the kidney called interstitial fibroblasts produce a substance called erythropoietin, EPO for short, that stimulates production of red blood cells. They doesn't secrete or produce red blood cells themselves. Red blood cells are produced within bone marrow.
Differentiate human red blood cells to a frog red blood cell?
1) Frog's red blood cells contain a nucleus that carries all the genetic information needed to make new cells by replication. Human red blood cells contain no nuclei because they reproduce differently than frog. 2) We human have platelets in our blood but frogs do not have them.
Why is the bone marrow is important?
because it produces red blood cells since red blood cells cant reproduce themselves because they lack a nucleus
How does a red blood cell reproduce?
Red blood cells are produced by stem cells in bone marrow.
How does blood multyiply?
Mature red blood cells do not reproduce. Blood is produced in red bone marrow from precursor cells.
Does the destruction of red blood cells release heme to reproduce in bone marrow?
Red blood cells can not reproduce because they do not have a nucleus like all other cells. Red blood cells last at least 3-4 months. When they are destroyed, heme (consisting of iron) is released; the iron is used to reproduce red blood cells.
How do red blood cells reproduce?
with help of liver
Do red blood cells reproduce in the lungs?
yes
How many red blood celll die and reproduce everyday?
Three million red blood cells die and are reproduced every second. The dead red blood cells get degraded by the liver
What blood cell is able to reproduce in the circulatory system?
White blood cells can reproduce in the bloodstream, because they have a nucleus, unlike the red blood cells, which lack a nucleus, and are produced in their millions by the bone marrow.
What happens if a RBC lack nuclei?
Red blood cells without nuclei are called mature erythrocytes. They lack the ability to divide and reproduce or repair themselves. This makes them dependent on the bone marrow to continuously produce new red blood cells to maintain adequate levels in the bloodstream.
Why can't RBC's reproduce?
Red blood cells, when mature, have no nucleus and can not reproduce.
Are o- and o blood types good for reproducing offspring?
No, red blood cells have no nuclei and cannot reproduce.
Why is the red marrow bone important?
Red marrow produces red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs) and cell fragments called platelets. RBCs carry oxygen through out the body, WBCs fight off infections by bacteria and viruses, other "invaders" and platelets are necessary for blood clotting.
