Which of the following types of mammalian cell does not carry out oxidative phosporylation?
Correct answer: A. Erythrocytes
- A. Erythrocytes
- B. Neuron
- C. Oxyntic cell
- D. Cardiac muscle cell
Explanation
Oxidative phosphorylation takes place in mitochondria. Erythrocytes (red blood cells) lack mitochondria, so they cannot perform oxidative phosphorylation and rely only on glycolysis for ATP production. Other cells like neurons, oxyntic cells, and cardiac muscle cells contain mitochondria and carry out oxidative phosphorylation.
