Is erythrocytes irregularly-shaped cell without nuclei but rich in ATP?

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.


Compare and contrast erythrocytes and leukocytes Be sure to include similarities and differences of structure and function?

Erythrocytes are larger than leukocytes. Erythrocytes have no nucleus while leukocytes have nucleus. Leukocytes remove and/ or destroys things that are considered "abnormal" in the body while erythrocytes carry oxygen to all body cells. Leukocytes are large round cells that do not contain hemoglobin while erythrocytes contain hemoglobin, are shaped as biconcave disks that bend, flex travel through narrow blood vessels and have a large surface to volume ratio. Erythrocytes and leukocytes are both classified as formed elements (lower layer). They both are main components of the body are necessary for the body to function properly.
