Answer:
In most mammals, erythrocytes do not have any organelles (e.g. nucleus, mitochondria ); this frees up room for the hemoglobin molecules and prevents the cell from using the oxygen it is carrying.

Hey
Here Is your answer
Red blood cells are considered cells, but they lack a nucleus, DNA, and organelles like the endoplasmic reticulum or mitochondria. Red blood cells cannot divide or replicate like other bodily cells. They cannot independently synthesize proteins.
As a result of not containing mitochondria, red blood cells use none of the oxygen they transport; instead they produce the energy carrier ATP by the glycolysis of glucose and lactic acid fermentation on the resulting pyruvate.
This frees up room for the hemoglobin molecules and prevents the cell from using the oxygen it is carrying.
