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.
Carbonic anhydrase breaks down carbonic acid into water and carbon dioxide gas The specific area of the enzyme where carbonic acid attaches is known as the?
Substrate
By what factor does carbonic anhydrase speed up the formation of carbonic acid?
Depends on the concentration of enzyme and substrate you'll have to look at the lab and do some math
How is a term that identifies and enzyme recognized?
Enzymes normally end with the term -ase (e.g. protease, catalase, carbonic anhydrase).
What red blood cell enzyme catalyzes the reaction between co2 plus h2o and what is produced?
Carbonic Anhydrase, I think :D

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.

What is the fastest enzyme in body?
Catalase is. it is an enzyme located in the liver that breaks down poisonous hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen ( 2 H2O2 -----> 2 H2O + O2) and it is estimated to catalyse around 38 million molecules of hydrogen peroxide per second!
Name the enzyme that facilitate the transportation of carbon dioxide in the red blood cells as bicarbonate ions?
Carbonic anhydrase

Enzymes normally end with the term -ase (e.g. protease, catalase, carbonic anhydrase).
Which protein is the most important physiologically in the transport of carbon dioxide by blood?
Sincerely, carbonic anhydrase enzyme. Followed by hemoglobin

Carbonic Anhydrase, I think :D
What are the two main contributors to the buffer capacity of the blood?
enzyme carbonic anhydrase which make bicabonate. Bicarbonate act as the blodds's buffer.
Where does bicarnonate ions come from?
In tissues, CO2 from aerobic metabolism and it binds with water to form Bicarbonate ion with the help of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase.
Is diffusion the dominant method of carbon dioxide transport?
Enzyme carbonic anhydrase forms carbonic acid (H2CO3) which dissociates into H+ and HCO3. 70% of carbon dioxide is transported in plasma as HCO3. BICARBONATE IONS.
