What else can I help you with?
Why would high calcitonin levels slow blood clotting time?
Calcitonin "tones down" plasma calcium concentrations (as Ca++). If calcitonin were high, Ca++ would be low, and calcium ion is an important cofactor in the clotting process.
A vitamin attached to a protein molecule forms an enzyme that can serve as a catalyst for reactions such as blood clotting?
This type of enzyme is called a cofactor, where the protein part is the enzyme and the vitamin is the cofactor. In this specific example, the vitamin likely acts as a cofactor by assisting the enzyme in catalyzing the blood clotting reaction. Cofactors are essential for the proper functioning of many enzymes in the body.
The ion essential for blood clotting is?
Platelets are important for blood clotting. Along with these platelets there are various blood clotting factors which helps to clot the blood.
What are the structures that cause the blood to clot?
There are lots of clotting factors, vitamin K, calcium ion, and platelets.
What blood cell helps is blood clotting?
Platelets help with blood clotting
What component of blood is responsible for clotting blood?
The chief plasma component to the clotting of blood is the platelet. The additional components include blood clotting factors.
Which term refers to a macromolecule that attaches to an enzyme and plays a helper role in catalysis?
A cofactor refers to a macromolecule that attaches to an enzyme to assist in catalysis. This can be a metal ion or a coenzyme.
Do red blood cells intimate clotting?
Red blood cells do not initiate clotting. Platelets initiate clotting.
What is the blood clotting disorder calledWhat is the blood clotting disorder called?
Hemophilia
Does plasma prevent the loss of blood by causing clotting?
Plasma is the liquid component of blood. It does not cause the clotting. The part of blood that causes clotting are the platelets.
Blood clotting vitamin?
Vitamin K is responsible for blood clotting. Or is it responsible for clotting blood? Whatever way you want to say it, it's vitamin K. :)
What term is meant for a blood clotting disorder?
Hemophilia is a genetic blood clotting disorder.
