Explain why red blood cells are unable to replace damaged proteins

Biology
1 answer:
Harman [31]3 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.

Maslowich

Answer:

For a change in the environment that surrounds them.

Explanation:

Frogs and toads are amphibians that have the ability to live in both environments, that is why their respiratory system is highly adapted to extreme situations such as sudden climate changes, among others.

This modification of the environment many species would not tolerate because generally species always develop, live and reproduce in a single environment, such as humans, which is only in the terrestrial environment.

It is very difficult for frogs not to be able to adapt or survive climate change since they have the ability to adapt their respiratory system to two totally different media such as water and air.
