Red blood cells (RBCs) do not contain mitochondria. As a result, they are dependent on glycolysis to generate cellular ATP. All of the following statements about metabolism in RBCs are true EXCEPT:. a. RBCs metabolize ketone bodies for energy production when blood sugar is low.
b. RBCs extract less energy per molecule of glucose than cells with mitochondria.
c. RBCs ferment pyruvate into lactate to regenerate NAD+ for glycolysis
d. RBCs do not consume oxygen when metabolizing glucose

Agroup of plant cells was exposed to radiation, which damaged the chloroplasts and caused them to lose function. if the mitochondria were unharmed, what would happen to the overall function of the plant cells? a. the cells would not be able to make food, but would be able to release energy from biomolecules. b. the cells would not be able to replicate dna, but would be able to break down waste. c. the cells would not be able to break down waste, but would be able to replicate dna. d. the cells would not be able to release energy from biomolecules, but would be able to make food.
