Where does Carbonic Anhydrase occur naturally?

Answer 1

Carbonic acid is normally found in the water of every ocean and sea, and in lakes and rivers, as well as in precipitation. Carbon dioxide exists in the atmosphere, and where ever air comes in contact with water in any form, carbonic acid forms (though it's less so with ice).

Answer 2

It is the reaction product of water and carbon dioxide and exists in an equilibrium with water and carbon dioxide whenever the latter is dissolved in the former, for instance in soda water or blood

Answer 3

H2O + CO2 -> H2CO3 The reaction is spontaneous when water is mixed with air. Really high concentrations require water mixed with dry ice or carbon dioxide under pressure. It is created when water mixes with carbon dioxide to get carbonic acid.

Answer 4

Carbon dioxide is found abundantly in our atmosphere. As humans breathe they release Carbon Dioxide. Plants also use Carbon Dioxide to create Oxygen or O2 molecules. Large parts of just about every solid thing are carbon. More than half the contents of a tree is carbon.

Answer 5

Carbonic anhydrase is found in the blood, acting to regulate the pH of the blood and to move carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs in a non-gasseous form.

Carbonic anhydrase enzymes occur in all living things. They can be found in bacterias,plants, mammals. They are the source of the fuel(H+---hydrogen ion)

1/2 for cell division and 1/2 for all metabolic activities. They are found in all tissues,cells of all living things . They are the foundation of life.

Carbonic anhydrase enzymes existed billions years ago. They started first as

Gamma carbonic anhydrase enzymes (bacterias) which are about 4 billions years, Beta carbonic anhydrase enzymes (Plants) about 3 billions , Alpha

carbonic anhydrase enzymes (mammals) and are thought to be about

200--300 million years old.

If you look at it , life started from carbonic anhydrase enzymes.

( reversible reaction )

acted upon by carbonic anhydrase enzymes

Hydrogen ions produced are acted upon by the cytochrome system found in the mitochondria of all living things and are utilized as its fuel of all its activities.

Answer 6

it is found it the air becsuse we breathe it out of our body. It is also present in caves and deep holes, being a heavy gas, where it presents a suffocation danger.

Answer 7

Carbonic acid is found in any form of water except not so much in ice.

Answer 8

The most common source of carbonic acid is water. When carbon dioxide from the air dissolves in water, it forms carbonic acid.
