How is carbon dioxide transported in the blood plasma?
In Rbc's by the action of carbonic anhydrase the CO2 is converted to carbonic Acid in presence of water but being instable it is dissociated to H and Hco3 and with this form it is present in plasma about 67% is transported as this bicarbonate ion
What is a molecule such as a neurotransmitter or a hormone that binds to a receptor called?
A molecule such as a neurotransmitter or hormone that binds to a receptor is called a ligand. This binding triggers a biological response in the target cell, influencing its function.
What is the difference between phosphatase and phosphorylase in terms of their functions and mechanisms of action?
Phosphatase is an enzyme that removes phosphate groups from molecules, while phosphorylase is an enzyme that adds phosphate groups to molecules. Phosphatase acts by hydrolyzing phosphate ester bonds, while phosphorylase catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from a donor molecule to a substrate molecule.
What is the definition of binding affinity and how does it impact the interaction between molecules?
Binding affinity refers to the strength of the interaction between a molecule, such as a drug, and its target, such as a receptor on a cell. A higher binding affinity means the molecule is more likely to bind to its target and produce a biological effect. This can impact the effectiveness and potency of a drug, as well as the duration of its action in the body.
How does competitive inhibition differ from allosteric inhibition in terms of their mechanisms of action on enzyme activity?
Competitive inhibition occurs when a molecule competes with the substrate for the active site of an enzyme, blocking its function. Allosteric inhibition, on the other hand, involves a molecule binding to a site other than the active site, causing a conformational change that inhibits enzyme activity.
What effect might a molecule that interferes with the action with carbonic anhydrase have on your body?
The carbon dioxide and water react to form about 600,000 molecules of carbonic acid per second
What mixes with water in the blood to form carbonic acid?
Carbon dioxide mixes with water in the blood to form carbonic acid through the action of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase. This reaction helps regulate the pH balance in the blood by maintaining the proper levels of carbonic acid.
Where in the body CO2 reacts with water to form h2co3?
CO2 reacts with water in the red blood cells within the bloodstream to form carbonic acid (H2CO3), through the action of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase. This reaction helps to regulate the pH of the blood.
What interferes with the action that causes the heart muscles to contract?
beta blockers
What are the types of Chemical Weathering?

Carbonic acid forms when carbon dioxide is absorbed into water the action of carbonic acid on?
carbonic acid can react with minerals in rocks, leading to the dissolution of the minerals and erosion of the rock. This process is known as carbonic acid weathering and is a key component in the chemical weathering of rocks.
What is the role of bicarbonate in gas transport?
Bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) plays a crucial role in gas transport as the majority of carbon dioxide (CO2) produced in tissues is converted to bicarbonate for transportation in the blood. This conversion occurs in red blood cells through the action of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase. Bicarbonate is transported in the plasma to the lungs where it is converted back to CO2 for exhalation.
What prevents or slows a chemical reaction or interferes witha catalyst's action?
an inhibitor or catalytic poison
Can a type 1 diabetic eat grapefruit?
No. Grapefruit interferes with the action of statin drugs that most Type 1 diabetics also take.
What are the drug interactions associated with taking spearmint?
Controversy over if spearmint interferes with the beneficial action of other herbal remedies. No reports on interactions with pharmaceuticals.
What is composition of the layer?
Ozone is a tri oxygen molecule. It is formed in a natural process by the action of UV light on oxygen molecule.
