What effect changing the concentration of calcium ions has on the rate of coagulation of milk?
Rennin is an enzyme that converts the soluble milk protein caseinogen into the insoluble protein paracasein, producing the curd that can be processed into cheese or other milk products. Inorganic ions such as metal ions can act as cofactors. The ion may combine with either the enzyme or the substrate to reduce the activation energy. These ions are called activators. Activators are thought to make the enzyme substrate complex form more easily. For example, the action of amylase on starch is quicker in the presence of chloride ions. Calcium ions are required to activate the enzyme rennin. In this demonstration, calcium ion is removed by precipitating it as calcium citrate. In the tube containing the sodium citrate, calcium citrate forms as a precipitate. what effect changing the concentration of calcium ions has on the rate of coagulation of milk how calcium ions influece the activity of rennin in bringing about the coagulation of milk because it does
What is the effect of decrease calcium in coagulation?
It hinders it. EDTA, a commonly used anticoagulant, works by chelating calcium. This also has the consequence that large volumes of blood transfusions causes calcium deficiency.
What equipment should be used when investigating the effect concentration of calcium ions has on the rate of coagulation of milk?
so far ive got thermostatcally controlled water bath test tubes microscope but cant think of anythig else!!there must be more
How does changing the substrate concentration exhibit the same effect as changing the enzyme concentration?
For the enzyme to work, its particles must collide with the particles of the substrate. The more particles there are per unit volume, the more frequent the collisions will be. Thus changing the concentration of either chemical will have the same effect.
How is the effect of concentration changes on the reaction rate seen in the rate?
That depends on the order of the reaction. If the reaction is zero order with respect to a reactant, then changing the concentration will have no effect on rate. If it is first order, then doubling the concentration will double the rate. If it is second order, then doubling the concentration will quadruple the rate.
What effect does changing the concentration on acid have in a chemical reaction invlving a metal such as magnesium?
Increasing the concentration of an acid would increase the rate and vigor of the reaction involving a metal such as magnesium.
What s an anticoagulant?
Having the effect of retarding or inhibiting the coagulation of the blood.
Which drug effect does the partial thromboplastin time test monitor?
The PTT test can be used to monitor the effect of heparin on a patient's coagulation system.
What effect does calcium have on the heart rate?
The resting membrane potential is maintained by the distribution of positive and negative charged ions across both sides of the cell membrane. At rest, calcium concentration in cells of the heart is low as compared to the outside. At action, calcium channels in the membranes open, thereby allowing calcium to rush into the cells. So raising the heart rate.
What effect does Chamomile have on hyper coagulation?
Chamomile is known to thin the blood. So, it would have the effect of thinning the blood and making the blood less likely to clot.
Which ingredient found in coffee and cola can decrease calcium absorption?
Caffeine: Caffeine has a small effect on calcium absorption. It can temporarily increase calcium excretion and may modestly decrease calcium absorption, an effect easily offset by increasing calcium consumption in the diet.
What effect does the concentration gradient of the interstitial fluid have on the maximum urine concentration?
The urine concentration increased.
