Question: Why don't human red blood cells need energy to perform their tasks?
Asked by fbp158
Human red blood cells do not need energy to perform their tasks because they lack a nucleus containing genetic material and energy-producing organelles such as mitochondria. Red blood cells are essentially specialized bags of hemoglobin (a protein which carries oxygen around the body). As such, they do not need energy to carry out their primary role of transporting oxygen.
