Which one of the following mammalian cells is not capable of metabolising glucose to carbon-dioxide aerobically?

1. Unstriated muscle cells
2. Liver cells
3. Red blood cells
4. White blood

Correct answer: Red blood cells

Solution

Red blood cells lack mitochondria, so they cannot carry out aerobic respiration to oxidize glucose completely to carbon dioxide. They rely on anaerobic glycolysis for ATP production.
