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.

Multiple Choice New species arise when a. a portion of the population becomes isolated from the remainder of the population and
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

a. a portion of the population becomes isolated from the remainder of the population and experiences different selective pressures

Explanation:

This is an example of allopatric speciation Allopatric speciation is a form of speciation (formation of new species) that occurs as a result of geographic isolation. This means that a part of population becomes physically separated from the initial main population. There is no gene flow between these two populations and as a result the two populations  reach a high level  of genetic divergence. They can no longer interbreed which means they become two different species (speciation).

New populations evolve as result of mutation, genetic drift and natural selection.

For example, Galapagos finches are isolated from others by the ocean (geographic isolation).  Because of the isolation, the finches don’t breed with one another. So, they developed unique characteristics and became endemic.

Find the resistance of a portable lantern that uses a 24V power supply and draws a current of 0.80A. PLZ HURRY LOTS OF POINTS PH
ira [324]

Answer:

Resistance = 30 Ω

Explanation:

The resistance of an electric circuit = \frac{Voltage}{current}

voltage = 24V

current (I) = 0.80A

Therefore, R = \frac{24}{0.8}  = 30

R = 30 ohms
