∙ 14y agoHemolysis is the breakdown of red blood cells.
Red blood cells (also referred to as erythrocytes) are the most common type of blood cell and the vertebrate body's principal means of delivering oxygen to the body tissues via the blood. They take up oxygen in the lungs or gills and release it while squeezing through the body's capillaries. The cells are filled with hemoglobin, a biomolecule that can bind to oxygen. The blood's red color is due to the color of oxygen-rich hemoglobin. In humans, red blood cells develop in the bone marrow and live for about 120 days; they take the form of flexible biconcave disks that lack a cell nucleus and organelles and they cannot synthesize protein.
Red blood cells are also known as RBCs, red blood corpuscles (an archaic term), haematids or erythrocytes (from Greek erythros for "red" and kytos for "hollow", with cyte translated as "cell" in modern usage). The capitalized term Red Blood Cells is the proper name in the US for erythrocytes in storage solution used in transfusion medicine.

During the break-down of amino acids, nitrogen is a waste.
What is a mithochondria?
I agree, and you can find it in ,both, the animal and plant cell. It also can break down the nutrients in a cell.
Organelles that contain enzymes that break down old cell parts?
It is lysosomes that contain chemicals that break down food and wastes.
How does a red blood cell die?
are break down by the liver and the iron is recycled
What cell fight germs and break down dead cells?
white blood cells
What cells use lysosomes to break down food and old cell parts?
Lysosomes are organelles found in animal cells that serve to break down food and also recycle other cell parts. They are not present in blood cells.

What is the function blood cell?
The combat of disease through phagocytosis (the engulfing of the bacterial cells through changing of the shape of the membrane) which encloses the bacteria within the white blood cell, where there are lysosomes containing enzymes which break down the bacteria.

Lysosomes are organelles found in animal cells that serve to break down food and also recycle other cell parts. They are not present in blood cells.
Which organelles breaks down old blood cells and other worn out organelles in the cell?
A Lysosome will break down the blood cells since it is known for having hydrolytic digestive enzymes that digest contents and enter cytoplasm.
What cell fights diseases?
White blood cells fight disease. When a foreign organism invades the body, white blood cells attack it and break it down. Really, how do you not know this sh*t? I learned this is in like the 1st grade.
