Mitochondria are absent in mature red blood cells (erythrocytes) because these cells primarily focus on transporting oxygen rather than energy production. During their development, they lose their organelles, including mitochondria, to maximize space for hemoglobin, the protein responsible for oxygen binding. This adaptation allows red blood cells to efficiently carry oxygen throughout the body without consuming it for their own energy needs. Instead, they rely on anaerobic glycolysis for energy, which does not require oxygen.
