The reaction being described is;            CO2 + H2O = H2CO3                            This reaction will be affected if carbonic anhydrase acts as a catalyst will be; that H2CO3 (carbonic acid) will be produced faster. Carbonic anhydrase enzyme balances the pH of the blood and also enables the breathing out of carbon dioxide. The reaction above catalyzed by the enzyme takes place in the red blood cells where carbon dioxide is converted into carbonic acid, which further breaks down into bicarbonate ions and protons.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is formed by ________ and reabsorbed through arachnoid granulations into ________.
Ede4ka [16]
The correct terms to fill in the blanks are lateral ventricles and venous sinus blood. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is formed by lateral ventricles and reabsorbed through arachnoid granulations into the venous sinus blood. The CSF is a fluid that is clear and colorless found in the spinal cord and in the brain, generally the central nervous system. The CSF functions as a buffer or a shock absorber for the brain. It provides basic mechanical protection for the brain. Also, it helps in the circulation of nutrients and the chemicals that are filtered and aids in the elimination of waste products.

Question: Using your understanding of the 4 macromolecules explain how Earth’s early atmosphere and the 4 molecules taught could
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Advanced forms of life existed on earth at least 3.55 billion years ago. In rocks of that age, fossilized imprints have been found of bacteria that look uncannily like cyanobacteria, the most highly evolved photosynthetic organisms present in the world today. Carbon deposits enriched in the lighter carbon-12 isotope over the heavier carbon-13 isotope-a sign of biological carbon assimilation-attest to an even older age. On the other hand, it is believed that our young planet, still in the throes of volcanic eruptions and battered by falling comets and asteroids, remained inhospitable to life for about half a billion years after its birth, together with the rest of the solar system, some 4.55 billion years ago. This leaves a window of perhaps 200-300 million years for the appearance of life on earth.

divine interventionThis duration was once considered too short for the emergence of something as complex as a living cell. Hence suggestions were made that germs of life may have come to earth from outer space with cometary dust or even, as proposed by Francis Crick of DNA double-helix fame, on a spaceship sent out by some distant civilization. No evidence in support of these proposals has yet been obtained. Meanwhile the reason for making them has largely disappeared. It is now generally agreed that if life arose spontaneously by natural processes-a necessary assumption if we wish to remain within the realm of science-it must have arisen fairly quickly, more in a matter of millennia or centuries, perhaps even less, than in millions of years. Even if life came from elsewhere, we would still have to account for its first development. Thus we might as well assume that life started on earth.

How this momentous event happened is still highly conjectural, though no longer purely speculative. The clues come from the earth, from outer space, from laboratory experiments, and, especially, from life itself. The history of life on earth is written in the cells and molecules of existing organisms. Thanks to the advances of cell biology, biochemistry and molecular biology, scientists are becoming increasingly adept at reading the text.

An important rule in this exercise is to reconstruct the earliest events in life's history without assuming they proceeded with the benefit of foresight. Every step must be accounted for in terms of antecedent and concomitant events. Each must stand on its own and cannot be viewed as a preparation for things to come. Any hint of teleology must be avoided.
