Carbonic anhydrase is a protein present in red blood cells. It catalyzes a reaction to convert carbon dioxide into carbonic acid

and bicarbonate ions so that CO2 waste may be more easily removed from the body.
What role does this protein play in the body?

Carbon dioxide is converted to carbonic acid and bicarbonate ions with the help of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase found in red blood cells. The same enzyme aids in converting the bicarbonate ions back to carbon dioxide when red blood cells go to the lungs, where they are exhaled.

<h3>What is the action of carbonic anhydrase?</h3>

In humans, the primary function of carbonic anhydrase is to catalyze the transformation of carbon dioxide into carbonic acid and back again. However, it can also aid in the blood's transportation of CO2, which benefits breathing. Even the stomach's production of hydrochloric acid can use it.

The role of BiP in protein folding was briey described in this chapter. Answer the following questions
NISA [10]
<h2>KDEL Sequence & Protein Unfolding</h2>

Explanation:

(a) The distinction between proteins sent out from and those held in the ER has all the earmarks of being represented by two unmistakable sorts of focusing on successions that explicitly mark proteins as either bound for transport to the Golgi or bound for maintenance in the ER. Numerous proteins are held in the ER lumen because of the nearness of the focusing on grouping Lys-Asp-Glu-Leu (KDEL, in the single-letter code) at their carboxy end. In the event that this succession is erased from a protein that is regularly held in the ER (e.g., BiP), the transformed protein is rather moved to the Golgi and emitted from the cell. On the other hand, the expansion of the KDEL arrangement to the carboxy end of proteins that are typically discharged makes them be held in the ER. The maintenance of some trans membrane proteins in the ER is comparatively directed by short C-terminal successions that contain two lysine deposits (KKXX sequences)

(b) Proteins are large molecules composed of folded chains of amino acids. Every protein has a unique shape and that shape determines the things it does. You could think of them as keys that fit into certain locks around the body Proteins do lots of different things around the body, including speeding up biological processes, recognizing antibodies, providing structure to certain body parts, transporting substances, regulating genes, and responding to signals inside and outside the body Proteins range in size from small ones, such as insulin - only 51 amino acids long, to extremely large ones, such as titin almost 27,000 amino acids long. No matter their size, they must be folded into a particular shape in order to function. Sometimes, though, things go wrong and cause the protein to unfold

Explain the functions of a nervous system
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

It has 3 main functions

1.Sensory. The sensory function of the nervous system involves collecting information from sensory receptors that monitor the body’s internal and external conditions.

2.Integration. The process of integration is the processing of the many sensory signals that are passed into the central nervous system at any given time. These signals are evaluated, compared, used for decision making, discarded or committed to memory as deemed appropriate.

3.Motor. Sends a signal to the Corresponding effector then releases a hormone or moves a part of the body to respond to the stimulus.

The long band of nerve fibers that connects the brain's hemispheres is:
deff fn [24]
 The answer is Corpus callosum. The largest structure of the human brain, consisting of the two cerebral hemispheres connected by the corpus callosum and covered by the cerebral cortex. Corpus callosum is a long, thick band of nerve fibers that connects the left and right hemispheres of the brain and allows communication between them. Development of the CC makes communication between the hemispheres more efficient.

How might the carrying capacity of a coastal ecosystem change as the result of a tsunami? Explain using one or more examples
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

A tsunami <u>reduces the carrying capacity</u> of the coastal environment.

It damages the ecosystem by reducing the available resources such as food or shelter, and consequently decreases the number of individuals.
