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.

Answer:

12th May at 4.17 PM

Explanation:

This is because this is during the low tides and the low tide is at its lowest, at -0.7, m than any other date or time of the month. This means that most of the shoreline has receded deep into the ocean and exposed most of the continental shelf than any other time. This leaves rooms for more sea shells to be exposed and easily collected.
