Red blood cells are disc shaped. It is thought one factor that allows them to have this shape is because they do not have a nucleus. This tends to increase amount of space inside the cell for hemoglobin.

They have a flexible disc shape which helps increase the surface- to- area volume ratio  which enables oxygen and carbon dioxide to diffuse across the red blood cell's plasma membrane more readily.

Their disc shape also enables them to squeeze through tiny capillaries that are half their size .

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Archaea.

Explanation:

Archaea is one of the three domains of life other than bacteria and eukarya. Archaea are prokaryotic organisms that are unicellular and present in very extreme conditions like salt environments or extreme heat.

Archaea used to be placed with bacteria but due to some closeness with the characteristic of eukarya as well as bacteria, it is placed as a separate domain. It lacks nuclei and has a cell wall in its cell.
