Explain why red blood cells are unable to replace damaged proteins

Biology
1 answer:
Harman [31]2 years ago
3 0


The sole reason why red blood cells are unable to replace damaged proteins is that red blood cells lack DNA and cell organelles such as nucleus, ribosomes and mitochondria which are crucial for protein synthesis, assembly and repair. In other words they lack both the information and the machinery for making or repair of proteins.

Due to  lack of DNA and cell organelles, red blood cells cannot be able satisfy the central dogma which  summarizes synthesis of proteins as DNA → RNA → proteins.

DNA has the genetic information on how proteins should be made, RNA is responsible for transferring the information from DNA in the cell nucleus to the ribosomes  in the cytoplasm,  then translating or decoding  this information, which results in the making of  protein.

In what way are cell biologists and molecular biologists similar?
Dmitry [639]

Molecular biologists are interested in things like the level of gene expression (how much protein or RNA is present at any given time), which molecules are directly touching each other inside the cell, etc. ... Cell biology techniques, on the other hand, want to know what's going on inside intact cells.

Assuming that other factors are equal, how are the birthrate and death rate
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

In a stable population, if all the other factors are equal then the birth rate should be equal to the death rate in order to maintain the stability.

Explanation:

The birth rate is described as the number of births taking place in an area per year. Death rate is described as the number of deaths taking place in an area in a year.

In order to maintain a stable population, the birth rate should be equal to the death rate. If there are more number of births than the number of deaths, then it would mean more competition for resources like food, water etc.
