How does carbonic anhydrase change the reaction between carbon dioxide and water?

Biology
1 answer:
Natalka [10]4 years ago

It catalyzes the reaction by making it fast (both forward and reverse reactions).

Naturally, the reaction between CO2 and H2O is very slow in the formation of carbonic acid. However, in the blood, due to the presence of the enzyme, the reaction is much rapid by millions of factors. This is because the enzyme reduces the activation energy of the reactants.  The enzyme is important in respiration of cells and in pH regulation,

Which step in the PCR program would you have to change if your fragment would have been 10 times longer and how?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

increasing extension time

Explanation:

The Polymerase Chain Reaction is a technique widely used in molecular biology laboratories to amplify target DNA regions. The standard steps of a PCR are as follow 1-denaturation, 2-annealing and 3-elongation/extension. These steps are repeated 15-40 times in order to exponentially amplify the linear DNA fragment. It is well known that longer extension times can be used as a strategy to increase the yield of longer PCR products. This is because the extension time depends on the synthesis rate of the DNA polymerase used in PCR technique and the length of the DNA fragment to be amplified.

Describe at least one function for each type of biological macromolecule?
MrRa [10]
Carbohydrates provide structural support, in the form of cellulose in cell walls, for plants in addition to providing energy for the organism
Proteins are essential for muscle tissue's growth and development as well as, in the form of hormones and hormonal regulation, maintaining an organism's homeostasis.
Lipids make up the bilayer of cell membranes, and also aid hormonal signaling.
Nucleic acids store genetic information, and allow for ribosomal protein synthesis.

CAM photosynthesis limits CO2 fixation to nighttime hours in order to (A) allow water to enter leaf spaces during the daylight h
bixtya [17]

Answer:

(B) open stomata only at night, limiting water loss because of heat and low humidity.

Explanation:

CAM plants are found in the regions characterized by very hot and dry environmental conditions. These plants reduce the water loss through transpiration by exhibiting CAM photosynthesis.  

They open the stomata during night time when the air is cooler and rich in moisture. They take in CO2 during night time and fix it into the oxaloacetate which in turn is converted into malate and is stored in the vacuoles.  

During day time, stomata remain closed to prevent water loss and the CO2 trapped during night time (released by decarboxylation of malate) enter the Calvin cycle.
