Carbonic anhydrase breaks down carbonic acid into water and carbon dioxide gas The specific area of the enzyme where carbonic acid attaches is known as the?
Substrate
By what factor does carbonic anhydrase speed up the formation of carbonic acid?
Depends on the concentration of enzyme and substrate you'll have to look at the lab and do some math
Which enzymes in rbc breaks h2co3 down to water and carbon dioxide?
Carbonic Anhydrase
What does carbonic anhydrase break carbonic acid into when blood reaches the lungs?
bicarbonate and oxygen
Is carbonic anhydrase a protein?
all enzymes are proteins
What is acetazolamide?
Acetazolamide (a-set-a-ZOLE-a-mide) is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. Carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme that shifts the rate of reaction to favor the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into carbonic acid, bicarbonate ions, and free protons.
Is carbonic anhydrase present in extracellular fluid such as plasma?
yes
What is the molecule that blocks the activity of carbonic anhydrase?
The molecule that blocks the activity of carbonic anhydrase is called an inhibitor. Some commonly used inhibitors include acetazolamide and dorzolamide, which are used as medications to decrease intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients by reducing the production of aqueous humor in the eye.
What Enzyme speeds up reaction of CO2 and H2O to form carbonic acid?
The only good answer is too complicated for explanation here. It is advisable to read a good article on the biochemistry of photosynthesis. To get a preview: certainly there are more than 100 enzymes involved in more than 20 steps (or 'groups' of reactions) to form one of the many (>100) carbohydrates by photosynthesis.
What are the adverse affects of excess carbonic acid in the human body?
Carbonic acid is a part of your body's exchange of oxygen and CO2. Carbonic acid will be lethal. See carbonic anhydase and carbonic anhydrase inhibitor.
Examples of carrier proteins?
such as: - Transferrin, Carbonic anhydrase, serum albumin, cytochromes
What are the componants of saliva?
mucin amylase lysozome carbonic anhydrase peroxidases lactoferrin
