In mammals, mature red blood cells do not have mitochondria. Instead of using oxygen to help produce ATP, they use a form of anaerobic respiration known as lactic acid fermentation to form ATP.

Based on the information just given, what is the role of the mitochondria in cells that do contain mitochondria?
use lactic acid to make ATP
use oxygen to make ATP
use ATP to make oxygen

the question itself gives you the answer....the cells that lack mitochondria undergo anaerobic type of respiration..!! right..!!

then obviously the cells that have mitochondria undergo aerobic respiration...If one knows the difference between anaerobic and aerobic respiration you can answer the question...

As abhisar told giving direct answers is against Openstudy... Ill wait for you to answer the question from the clue given by me above..

ALL THE BEST..!!
