What else can I help you with?
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
Which enzymes in rbc breaks h2co3 down to water and carbon dioxide?
The enzyme carbonic anhydrase in red blood cells catalyzes the conversion of carbonic acid (H2CO3) into water and carbon dioxide. This enzyme helps to maintain the balance of carbon dioxide and pH levels in the blood.
Is carbonic anhydrase a protein?
all enzymes are proteins
Is carbonic anhydrase present in extracellular fluid such as plasma?
yes
What does carbonic anhydrase break carbonic acid into when blood reaches the lungs?
When blood reaches the lungs, carbonic anhydrase enzyme breaks down carbonic acid into carbon dioxide and water. This reaction helps in the release of carbon dioxide from the body during respiration.
What red blood cell enzyme catalyzes the reaction between co2 plus h2o and what is produced?
The enzyme carbonic anhydrase catalyzes the reaction between CO2 and H2O, forming carbonic acid (H2CO3).
What is the molecule that blocks the activity of carbonic anhydrase?
The molecule that blocks the activity of carbonic anhydrase is called an inhibitor. Some commonly used inhibitors include acetazolamide and dorzolamide, which are used as medications to decrease intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients by reducing the production of aqueous humor in the eye.
What Enzyme speeds up reaction of CO2 and H2O to form carbonic acid?
The enzyme that speeds up the reaction of carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) to form carbonic acid is carbonic anhydrase. This enzyme catalyzes this reaction, which is important in the regulation of acid-base balance in the body.
What are the adverse affects of excess carbonic acid in the human body?
Carbonic acid is a part of your body's exchange of oxygen and CO2. Carbonic acid will be lethal. See carbonic anhydase and carbonic anhydrase inhibitor.
Examples of carrier proteins?
such as: - Transferrin, Carbonic anhydrase, serum albumin, cytochromes
What are the componants of saliva?
mucin amylase lysozome carbonic anhydrase peroxidases lactoferrin
