Biology
Comparison between RBC and WBC
| RBC (Red Blood Cells or Erythrocytes) | WBC (White Blood Cells or Leucocytes) |
| 1. Red coloured due to presence of haemoglobin | Colourless |
| 2. Nucleus, Golgi complex, mitochondria etc are absent in mature mammalian RBC | Present. |
| 3. Lifespan is 120 days | Generally short lived (1- 15 days) |
| 4. Function: Transports oxygen from lungs to the tissues and carbon dioxide from tissues to lungs | It acts as the part of immune system and gives defense to our body against pathogens |
| 5. Normal Count is 5 - 5.5 millions/ mm3 | Normal Count is 6000-8000 /mm3 |
| 6. Formed in: Red Bone marrow | Formed in: Red Bone marrow, lymph glands, spleen |
| 7. Single type | Many types such as neutrophil, basophil, eosinophil, monocyte and lymphocyte. |
