Answer:

The correct answer is - option B. They are small because they lack a nucleus.

In mammals these cells lack cell organelles such as nucleus and mitochondria, a major factor that determined its smaller size. The size of RBC are move through narrow vessels throughout a organism because of its specific size and shape that provide it space for hemoglobin and allow to be flexible and bend to move through narrow vessels.

Thus, the correct answer is : option B. They are small because they lack a nucleus.

Pepsi [2]

Answer & Explanation:

Feedback is a form of regulation where the main product of one reaction, can also inhibit it. It can work in several ways, mainly there's a receptor that, somehow, measures the presence of a determined molecule, in this case, ATP. These receptors can also be involved in the metabolic process and when there's an excess of ATP, the enzymes are inhibited, maybe with an allosteric type of inhibition.
