Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Red blood cells do not contain a nucleus or other organelles, which makes them more efficient at carrying hemoglobin. This lack of organelles means that the cell has more space available to carry hemoglobin, the protein responsible for binding and transporting oxygen throughout the body. This allows red blood cells to carry more oxygen than they would otherwise be able to.
