What is the role of your kidneys in compensating for low levels of oxygen

Biology
1 answer:
TEA [102]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

When there are low oxygen levels in blood, the blood pH tends to lower. This is because there is an increased level of carbon dioxide in the blood that is converted to carbonic acid by carbonic anhydrase. When carbon acid dissociates, into H⁺ and HCO₃⁻ . The H⁺ influences the increase in acidity of the blood.   The kidneys will excrete most of the H⁺ and retain most of the HCO₃⁻ to help maintain the right blood pH. However, most of blood pH homeostasis is maintained largely by the lungs.

If someone have consumed a drug that block the activity of primase. state the effect of drug on the synthesis of new dna strand.
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

The consumption of a drug that inhibits or block the enzyme primase will have problems for the replication of DNA, since it is not possible to synthesize a new strand without this enzyme.

Explanation:

During DNA replication, the enzyme primase is responsible for synthesizing the primers, RNA fragments necessary for the DNA polymerase III to synthesize the new DNA strand.

If for any reason the action of the primase is blocked, the primer could not be synthesized and the effect of DNA polymerase III would be null, so the new DNA strand could not be synthesized.

In DNA replication, the primase contributes to the formation of small fragments of DNA, by the action of polymerase III, which are called Okazaki fragments. These fragments will require the action of another enzyme, ligase, in order to form a continuous DNA strand.
