Heparin reacts to prevent the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin. Heparin:

Paha777 [63]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct option is C) Heparin has its effects reversed with the administration of protamine sulfate.

Explanation:

Heparin is an anticoagulant, that is, it works by decreasing the ability of blood to clot, helping to prevent the formation of clots as well as stopping the subsequent extension of any existing clot. Through the neutralization of thrombin, it prevents the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, and thus, prevents the formation of a stable clot by inhibiting the fibrin stabilizing factor.

Protamine sulfate is a heparin antagonist, forming with it inactive complexes without anticoagulant effect, that is, the protamine, in the presence of heparin, which is acidic in nature, through the formation of stable salts, cancels the anticoagulant effect of both substances, neutralizing and reversing the anticoagulant action of heparin.

How do the water molecules behave differently in each situation. for science
Elis [28]
The behaviour of molecules in different phases of matter represents a balance between the kinetic energies of the molecules and the attractive forces between them.
All molecules are attracted to each other. At the same time, all molecules are in constant motion, and their kinetic energies increase with the temperature.
At very low temperatures, the kinetic energy of the molecules is low. The molecules cannot move fast enough to get away from the attractions of their neighbours. They are “glued” in place in a crystalline arrangement. The molecules are in the solid state.
At higher temperatures, the kinetic energy of the molecules is higher. The molecules will have enough energy to slide past their neighbours, but not enough energy to escape their attractions. The system is in the liquid state.
At very high temperatures, the kinetic energy of the molecules is so high that the molecules will be able to escape the attractions of their neighbours and move at will within the container. The system is in the gas state
