The clotting of blood depends upon a chain of reactions that involves many different proteins a faulty gene toward anyone of these proteins gives rise to what disease?
Hemophelia
How was a key chain made?
A chain is made by forming loops of metal from a wire to form the links of the chain, the loops are then interlinked and the open ends are welded closed.
What is difference between prothrombin and thrombin?
There is a long chain reaction from the moment one recieves a cut to the final stage where the cut is healed. The process involves many chemical reactions. In order for the blood to produce a final clot that will stem the bleeding, the blood turns a protein called PROTHROMBIN into THROMBIN. Thrombin is an enzyme that presides over the conversion of a substance called fibrinogen to fibrin, which promotes blood clotting.
Explain the blood clotting mechanism of the body?
The story of how blood clots, is the story of rapid-fire reactions. The first step in the chain is some kind of injury to a blood vessel, that makes a rough spot in its lining. Normally the lining of a blood vessel is smooth. Almost immediately, damaged tissue cells in the injured blood vessel wall release certain clotting factors into the plasma. The factors rapidly react with other factors already present into the plasma to form prothrombin activator. At the same time this is happening, platlets become sticky at the point of injury and soon acculmalate near the opening in the broken blood vessel, formimg a soft, temporary platlet plug. as the platlets accumulate, they release addditonal clotting factors, formimg even more prothrombin activator.
What other words are associated with clotting?
Medical terms associated with clotting include thrombus, coagulation, and anticoagulant. The word "cascade" indicates the chain of chemical events involved with clotting.
Where is the giant panda in the food weban animal food web interlinked by the food chain?
It is not The cookie monster and the panda are the only species alive that are not on the food chain they are way to awsome
How does tannic acid stop bleeding?
The Tannic acid helps to form a blood clot by contracting blood vessels. Amr ^_^Actually, blood clotting is the result of a "cascade" effect of different factors in the blood. Once activated they "domino" -- one activates the next in the chain -- until the blood clots. There are two pathways to blood clotting (coagulation) -- an intrinsic pathway and an extrinsic (external) pathway. Tannic acid acts to activate the extrinsic pathway and set the factor "cascade" in motion to clot the blood.
Do nuclear chain reactions happen in only uranium?
The most common fuels used in nuclear chain reactions are 235U (uranium) and 239Pu (plutonium).
What is the symbolism if any of 3 consecutive linked circles Not all 3 interlinked but linked as a chain would be?
"One of the wheels fell off my Audi."
Where is the giant panda in the food web and animal food web interlinked by the food chain?
The El Yunque rainforest has many food webs so I cant name them
Spontaneous nuclear fission processes occur by?
chain reactions
What are the reactions involved for ozone layer depletion in the stratosphere?
The reactions involve ozone getting decomposed. This causes a chain reaction.
