B. Biconcave disc
D. Disc.
E. Alpha helix.
F. Beta sheet
b
What are two advantages to the shape of red blood cells?
It provides a large larger surface area to move gas and thinner cells increase diffusion
The membranes of red blood cells are flexible. What advantage does this have?
It allows them to travel quickly without receiving damage
Red blood cells contain nothing except hemoglobin
True/false
False
what are two enzymes that erythrocytes contain?
Glycolytic enzyme and carbonic anhydrase
What is the function of carbonic anhydrase?
It binds and converts CO2 into HCO3 to transport.
What is the function of a glycolytic enzyme?
Provide energy to fuel active transport mechanisms to maintain ionic gradient

what is the protein that triggers production of new red blood cells?
Erythropoietin
