the red blood cell does not have mitochondria and other organelles that may otherwise be present in a normal cell. Mitochondria's main purpose is to create energy through the respiration, which requires oxygen. Since the RBC doesn't do much other than transport oxygen, it wouldn't be suitable for it to have a mitochondria, espesically since the RBC would waste much more oxygen. Therefore, RBC depend on anaerobic respiration, instead of aerobic respiration. In anaerobic respiration, oxygen is not needed and would be much suitable for red blood cells.
