What else can I help you with?
What is the directional term of the gallbladder to the surface of the liver?
posterior
What excretes salt from its surface?
The skin excretes salts from it's surface. I don't believe that the liver does.
Liver small with unsmooth surface and large spleen?
micronodular cirrhosis of the liver leading to portal venous hypertension and splenomegaly
The colon travels upward from the cecum to the under surface of the liver?
The ascending colon extends from the cecum to the under surface of the liver where it turns to the left to become the transverse colon.
What is porta hepatis?
Visceral surface of the liver where the portal vein & hepatic vein meet
Why does macerated liver react faster than whole liver on hydrogen peroxide?
By macerating the liver, you are increasing its surface area (SA) therefore, the enzyme catalase can break down the hydrogen peroxide at a much faster and easier rate.
What is a organille that makes protein?
It is the mitochondria. It provides surface for that
Why does the liver have more catalase?
In fact it doesn't 'produce' more catalyseBy grinding up the liver, you are producing small bits of liver and therefore have more surface area. Hence providing more surface area = more opportunities for to the catalyse to go to work.It's all about surface area to volume ratio.The More surface area you have to volume ratio, the quicker the reaction.(smaller bits of grind up liver, will produce a quicker reaction)and vise versa.
What are your body's largest organs?
The skin is the largest organ in the body. This is followed by the liver, the brain, and then the lungs.
Where is the caudate lobe of the liver located?
The main function of the caudate lobe of the liver is to drain fluid from bile ducts into either the right heptic duct or its branches. The caudate lobe is divided into five surfaces consisting of the right plane, the ventral-border plane, the left surface, the hilar-free surface, and the dorsal.
In liver cells the inner motochodrial membranes are about 5x the area of the outer mitochondrial membranes and about 17x that of the cell's plasma membrane what purpose must this serve?
The large surface area of the inner mitochondrial membrane in liver cells is crucial for housing the electron transport chain and ATP synthase complexes, allowing for efficient energy production through oxidative phosphorylation. This setup maximizes the production of ATP, which is essential for the liver's metabolic functions. The high surface area relative to the cell's plasma membrane also reflects the high energy demand of liver cells compared to other cell types.
How can you increase the rate of catalase reaction by using the same size liver?
You can increase the rate of catalase reaction by increasing the surface area of the liver. This can be achieved by cutting the liver into smaller pieces or blending it into a paste. Breaking the liver into smaller pieces exposes more catalase enzymes to the substrate, leading to an increase in the rate of the reaction.
