Energy supply

Nutrition, which is the ability to obtain food, is one of the characteristics of living organisms. However, the food ingested by organisms serve series of purposes in their system. These functions include maintaining biomass (total weight), and waste production as mentioned in the question.

In addition to this, one important role food ingestion plays in living organism is the SUPPLY OF ENERGY. Food ingested is broken down into smaller units, which is then used by the cells to synthesize energy in form of ATP. This process in living organisms is called RESPIRATION.

Answer: Option C) They would not need to be transported through the body.

Explanation:

Red blood cells are a type of blood cell that have a biconcave disc shape and lack nucleus. They are transported around the body where they distribute oxygen.

Neurons, on the other hand, are a type of cell in the nervous system. They are of different types and are interconnected to one another such that they do not need to be transported at all while they transmit impulses around the body.

Thus, if red blood cells were shaped like the interconnected neurons, there would be no need for them to be transported through the body.
