Why do mature mammalian Red Blood Cells (RBCs) lack mitochon…

The primary job of an RBC is to transport oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. Mitochondria are the “powerhouses” of the cell that use oxygen to produce energy (ATP) through Aerobic Respiration.

The Logic: If RBCs had mitochondria, they would consume the very oxygen they are supposed to deliver. By lacking mitochondria, the RBC ensures that 100% of the oxygen it picks up is delivered to the target tissues.
