The RBC are produced in the bone marrow through a process that takes 7 days called erythropoiesis. This is where the stem cells of hemopoietic differentiate into reticulocytes. Iron, Vit B12 and folic are necessary for hemoglobin synthesis. The reticulocytes become functional RBC after 24 hours in the bloodstream.
After 120 days the RBC are destroyed in the spleen through a process called eryptosis. The heme part is broken down into biliverdin and iron. Iron is recycled by the transferrin while biliverdin is excreted through bile.

N76 [4]
<span>Lakes and ponds are inland bodies of standing or slowly moving water. Although lakes and ponds cover only 2 percent of the world's land surface, they contain most of the world's fresh water. Individual lakes and ponds range in area from a few square meters to thousands of square kilometers. In general, ponds are smaller than lakes, though regional idiosyncrasies of naming abound—Henry David Thoreau's famous Walden Pond in Massachusetts has a surface area of 64 acres. Lakes and ponds are an important source of fresh water for human consumption and are inhabited by a diverse suite of organisms.</span>
