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 cells

Solution

Mature red blood cells lack cell organelles and a nucleus; hence, aerobic respiration does not take place, so they can respire only anaerobically
