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

Biology
1 answer:
Natalka [10]3 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,

Using the words "selection pressure" and "fitness", explain how natural selection causes populations to change over time.
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Environment and competition is the leading cause of evolution. It's an instinct to want to live, but trying to survive is difficult when other animals have the same goal. An ecosystem is a cycle, but every generation of this ecosystem slightly changes, and so do the animals. Every bug that has fitness can start overpopulating the ecosystem, leading to a surge of resources for what preys on the bug. Now bird's population goes up, so do other animal populations. Or the bug becomes an invasive species, and birds are being hunted too often to decrease the population.

In a different scenario, bugs are evolving because of the selection pressure that the environment is giving them. The birds have become better over the generation, and now have a more suited beak to catch the bug off the ground. The bug population maybe be decreasing, but the ones who live through the crisis are populating with bugs that certain gene that helped them out. But it's not over, the bug population isn't declining but it wasn't as big as it was before. The bird will find more ways to find and capture the bugs. But then bugs will keep surviving through the selection pressure and become much harder to find since they figured out camouflage. The bug that was neon yellow was dying since they were easy to see. Now they can range from green to black to hide in the environment. Now the birds are facing the selection pressure, it's a cycle.

Humming birds have specialiazed beaks that are very long and thin how does this structure of a hummingbirds beak make it more su
dangina [55]
The reason why humming birds need long beaks is to be able to get the nectar from the flowers, kind of like how we need straws to drink out of to go cups. Humming birds also have very long tongues that also help this process. Since humming birds beaks help them get the food they need, it makes them more successful in their environment.
