How are red blood cells adapted to carry out their function?
Contain haemoglobin - a molecule that can bind reversibly to oxygen. Biconcave disk shape - increases surface area to allow more diffusion of oxygen. No nucleus - allows more space for haemoglobin. Flexible and elastic - can squeeze through capillaries. Thin wall - easy diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide
