Carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme in the human body that participates in the reaction shown below?

Answer 1

The person would not produce H2CO3 quickly apex

Answer 2

to catalyse the conversion of CO2 into HCO3 and H+

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.

Answer 3

Carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme that catalyzes the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide to form bicarbonate ion and a proton, an important reaction in maintaining pH balance in the body. This enzyme plays a crucial role in processes such as respiration, acid-base balance, and ion transport.

Answer 4

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."

Answer 5

Carbonic Anhydrase helps convert Water (H2O) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) into carbonic acid which can be dissolved into the blood.

Answer 6

it helps you ''eat'' and do other ''stuff''

Answer 7

red blood cells

Answer 8
