The main difference between red blood cells and white blood cells is in their respective functions. While red blood cells are responsible for transport of respiratory gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide), white blood cells provide defense mechanisms for fighting foreign microorganisms entering the human organism.
The two types have different structures. While red blood cells do not have a nucleus, white blood cells do.This is what human blood looks like through a 1000x microscope
Red blood cells are of a red color, hence their name. The color is made possible due to the presence of hemoglobin. White blood cells, on the other hand, are colorless. Hemoglobin works essentially as a storer of oxygen, which can be further transported to various parts of the body and is responsible for the overall amount of energy an individual has. When people do not have enough red blood cells, they often show symptoms of anemia- the feeling of tiredness.A rendering of the white and the red cells, side by side
Red blood cells are more populous and have a longer lifespan than white blood cells. The former’s population is around 5 million per cubic millimeter of blood, while the latter are around 3,000 – 7,000 per cubic millimeter of blood.
