Erythrocytes (red blood cells)have no nucleus, mitochondria, orother organelles at maturity. Theseorganelles are ejected when the RBCenters the bloodstream, or shortlythereafter. Should this still beconsidered a cell? What will be theeffect of having no nucleus? In thesecells, the lack of mitochondria is anadvantage. Why?

Erythrocytes are not considered true cells, because of their lack of a nucleus. The effect of having no nucleus makes their self-reproduction impossible, and the absence of mitochondria is a disadvantage because they have to obtain energy by alternative reactions.

Explanation:

Erythrocytes, or red blood cells, are the structure in charge of transporting gases in the blood. When these cells are mature, they have already lost their nucleus —in order to have space to house the hemoglobin molecule— which prevents mature red blood cells from being able to reproduce.

Additionally, red blood cells do not have mitochondria —the main energy generator in eukaryotic cells— so in order to obtain energy they need to perform lactic fermentation, with a lower enegetic yield, which may be a disadvantage, but sufficient for this structure to perform its function.

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.
