Answer 1

Answer:

It should be reticulocytes.

Answer 2

Hemoglobin synthesis takes place in all except (a) reticulocytes.

Explanation:

• Hemoglobin (Hb) is synthesized in a complex series of steps.
• The heme part is synthesized in a series of steps in the mitochondria and the cytosol of immature red blood cells while the globin protein parts are synthesized by ribosomes in the cytosol.
• Hemoglobin synthesis takes place as erythroid cells are differentiating from immature red blood cells to mature red blood cells.
• Hemoglobin synthesis requires the coordinated production of heme and globin.
• Heme is the prosthetic group that mediates reversible binding of oxygen by hemoglobin.
• Globin is the protein that surrounds and protects the heme molecule.
• Basically hemoglobin has four types namely hemoglobin species are commonly recognized oxyhemoglobin, deoxyhemoglobin,methemoglobin and hemichromes.
• The major function of haemoglobin is the transportation of oxygen from the lungs to all tissues of the body.
