The circulating red blood cell is metabolically active but is only able to live for 120 days. During this short time, some signi

Answer: They lack nucleus and other organelles important for the synthesis of the enzyme.

Explanation:

The main function of the red blood cells is to supply oxygen throughout the body. The oxygen binds to the hemoglobin and travels throughout the body to ensure the supply of oxygen to various organs and more precisely the cells of the body.

The enzymes that is being synthesized inside the body is produced by the help of the gene and nucleus along with the other organelles involved in it.The mature red blood cells lack nucleus in order to increase the surface area for carrying the oxygen.

As there is no nucleus, mitochondria and golgi apparatus in the cell, there is no enzyme synthesis and broke down in the cell.

Elan Coil [88]

<u>Answer</u>:

An observation that would allow for identification of the cell as an animal cell rather than a plant cell would be "the centrioles migrating".

<u>Explanation</u>:

Centrioles start moving towards the opposite ends of the cell, whereas the microtubules starts moving from the centrioles and gets attached to the centromeres of chromosomes. The microtubules that have been projecting from the centrioles on opposite poles of the cell are connected to individual centromere and further form into spindle fibers.  After the accumulation of chromatin into chromosomes in prophase, resulting in the breaking down of the nuclear envelope, or membrane. In case of animal cells, the centrioles present at the nucleus starts to separate and go to the opposite poles of the cell. As the centrioles transfer, a spindle is seen to be formed between them.
