Carbonic anhydrase enzymes produces Hydrogen ions(H+) and are acted upon by the cytochrome system found in the mitochondria of all living things and are utilized as:
1. Fuel of the ion pump that maintains the integrity of the cell wall membrane.
2. Fuel for all other metabolic activities-- I/2 for cell division and 1/2 for all other metabolic activities-------- Hydrogen ions (H+) + ADP (adenosine diphosphate)-------------ATP(adenosine triphospahate)
3. Hydrogen ions produced by Cell specific carbonic anhydrase enzymes neutralizes all reactive species including reactive oxygen which are implicated with diseases associated with oxidative stress as illustrated in the following:
In aerobic respiration:
Glucose + Oxygen ---------CO2(Carbon Dioxide) + H2O(water) + (O2)-2(reactive oxygen specie - 5% are produced)
H2O + CO2 ------------------H+ (Hydrogen ion) + HCO3-(bicarbonate)
------------------
(reversible reaction acted upon by Carbonic anhydrase enzymes)
H+ + (O2)-2 -----------------(HO2)-1------ Superoxide
H+ + (HO2)-1----------------H2O2 --------Hydrogen Peroxide
H2O2----------------------------2(OH-1)------Hydroxyl
2(H+) + 2(OH-1)------------2 (H2O)------water (final product)
4. Hydrogen ions are used for the formation of hydrogen bonds for proteins to make them more stable preventing misfolding of proteins.
These cell specific carbonic anhydrase enzymes almost explains the
pathology and physiology of aging, disorders of aging, cancer and almost all diseases of mammals.

If it says
CO2 + H20 -> H2CO3
How will this reaction be affected if carbonic anhydrase acts as a catalyst?
The answer is "H2CO3 will be produced faster."

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.
How is CO2 from the tissues converted into HCO3 in the blood?
CO2 combines with H2O in blood plasma to form H2CO3 (carbonic acid). Carbonic acid readily dissociates into HCO3 + H+ . The reaction between CO2 and water happens inside red blood cells, and the reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme carbonic anhydrase.
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 carbonic anhydrase in the respiratory system?
Carbonic anhydrase enzyme catalyzes the reaction of CO2 & H2O to form H+ & HCO3-. It is normally present in the follwing site: 1)CSF 2)acqueous humor of the eye 3)Parietal cells of stomach 4)Pancreas 5)RBCs 6)Kidney in proximal & distal convoluted tubules & it's not present i the respiratory system
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 red blood cell enzyme catalyzes the reaction between co2 plus h2o and what is produced?
Carbonic Anhydrase, I think :D
Ask us anythingCarbonic anhydrase is an enzyme in the human body that participates in the reaction shown below CO2 plus H2O H2CO3 How will this reaction be affected if carbonic anhydrase acts as a cat?
I took one for my fellow apex brothers an sisters that got fuked over during garbage online school and were sent to summer school the answer is h2co3 will be produced faster.

What will be the product when reaction between water and carbon will occur?
Carbonic acid. The reaction is: H2O + CO2 -----> H2CO3 ----> H+ + HCO3- The reaction is catalysed by an enzyme called carbonic anhydrase. After it has formed it separates (dissociates) into hydrogen ions (H+) and hydrogen carbonate ions (HCO3-).
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

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