Question

In mammals, mature red blood cells do not have mitochondria. how would red blood cells produce ATP?

A. use aerobic respiration to make ATP
B. use ATP to make oxygen
C. use anaerobic respiration to make ATP​

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. Red blood cells use anaerobic respiration to make ATP .

Step-by-step explanation:

RBC or red blood cell do not contain mitochondria.Red blood cells produce energy by utilizing glucose molecules for glycolysis through anaerobic respiration to produce energy in form of Adenosine tri phosphate or ATP.

ATP then under hydrolysis to generate free energy for the functioning of red blood cells.
