Question: why dont human red blood cells have mitochondria?
Asked by fbp158
Human Red Blood Cells (RBCs) do not have mitochondria because they do not need to produce energy. RBCs are non-nucleated cells and solely used to transport oxygen and other molecules throughout the body. Mitochondria are organelles responsible for energy production by cellular respiration, but this is not necessary for RBCs because they do not require energy to perform their functions.
