It is a living thing because it has life in them.
The structure that surround and protect the cell depends on the cell type: for plants cells it would be a cell wall whereas for an animal cell it would be the cell membrane :)
Mature mammalian red blood cells lack nuclei, mitochondria and rough endoplasmic reticulum, they do not contain DNA and consequently, cannot divide. They also cannot synthesise RNA nor synthesise any new proteins, and consequently, have a limited lifespan. Mature red blood cells circulate for about 100–120 days in the body before they are removed by the spleen.
Hope this helps

HIV infection.
2. Describe what happens between the first year and the tenth year of infection.
3. Explain why the concentration of antibodies begins to decrease after nine years of
infection.
4. At what point on the graph does an infected person have AIDS?
5. Why does the number of HIV particles begin to level off after nine years?
6. How do you think the high rates of HIV transmission in humans might be related to the length of time it takes for the virus to develop into AIDS?
Answer options:
- The nucleus was unable to provide instructions for the other organelles in the cells.
- The mitochondria were unable to undergo cellular respiration and could not produce energy for the cells to function.
- The lysosomes were unable to remove waste from the cells.
- The cell membrane was unable to allow substances to enter and exit the cells.
Answer:
- The mitochondria were unable to undergo cellular respiration and could not produce energy for the cells to function.
Explanation:
Mitochondria are the site of aerobic respiration. This is the process that produces energy in the form of ATP. ATP provides energy for all cellular processes. Without this energy, the cell cannot carry out its functions and will quickly die.
Aerobic respiration requires a good supply of oxygen, which the grasshopper would not have had in a sealed container.
