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 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.
What chemical assists in the formation of the bicarbonate ions from carbon dioxide and water?
I suppose that you think to carbonic anhydrase.
How will this reaction be affected if carbonic anhydrase acts as a catalyst?
h2co3 will be produced faster
Which enzymes in rbc breaks h2co3 down to water and carbon dioxide?
Carbonic Anhydrase
What is the most commonly used carbonix anhydrase inhibitor?
Acetazolamide (Diamox) is the most commonly used carbonix anhydrase inhibitor.
Is carbonic anhydrase a protein?
all enzymes are proteins
What is the substrate for carbonic anhydrase?
the substrates are co2 and h20
Is carbonic anhydrase present in extracellular fluid such as plasma?
yes

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.
What does carbonic anhydrase break carbonic acid into when blood reaches the lungs?
bicarbonate and oxygen
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.
