What protein involved in coagulation provides the activation for the final step in clotting?

Biology
2 answers:
Harrizon [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The correct answer would be thrombin.

The last step in the blood clotting is the formation of a fibrin clot.

Thrombin is the serine protease (protein) enzyme which activates fibrin.

It converts the soluble fibrinogen into the insoluble fibrin which then results in the blood coagulation.

Blood is a bodily fluid in humans and other animals that delivers necessary substances such as nutrients and oxygen to the cells and transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells. The cellular component of the blood responsible for blood clotting are the platelets.  The blood clotting mechanism involves many substances like blood platelets, prothrombin, thromboplastin, Ca++, fibrinogen, vitamin K, etc.

Thromboplastin for blood clotting is secreted by platelets. In the presence of calcium, thromboplastin acts on protein prothrombin and forms a proteolytic enzyme called thrombin. Vitamin K is essential for formation of prothrombin in liver. Thrombin acts on a soluble protein fibrinogen and changes it into insoluble fibrin. Fibrin undergoes rapid polymerisation to form long fibres. The fibres form a network over the damaged wall of blood vessel and exposed part of the skin. It traps blood cells and forms a jelly like mass called blood clot. The clot contracts and solidifies. A liquid called serum is expelled.

Thus, the protein involved in coagulation provides the activation for the final step in clotting is the <u>thrombin.</u>

What causes large amounts of air to move?
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

There is a term "atmospheric circulation". It is when the air throughout the globe moves around. When the sun heats air near the equator more, and less at the poles. So the equator is warmer. The warm air near the equator moves either towards the south or the north, toward the poles. The warm air also rises up, and the cold air sinks. This is convection, but at a global scale. THis is also the cause of wind.

Describe the relationship between an action spectrum and an absorption spectrum. Explain why the action spectrum for photosynthe
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

An absorption spectrum illustrates the spectrum of light or electromagnetic radiation absorbed by the plant. This relies upon the molecular and cellular build-up of the plant. An action spectrum illustrates the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation most efficient for photosynthesis.  

The action spectrum of photosynthesis monitors the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll. The absorption spectrum suggests that how much of each wavelength chlorophyll will captivate, while the action potential can indicate to us about the wavelengths that are most operative for photosynthesis.

What is the relationship between mutation, natural selection, and adaptation? ​
balu736 [363]

Explanation:

well a mutation in my opinion is genetic change that happened in the animal this could be beneficial or may not be. natural selection is a process that ensures only the best of the species survives and more of them will produce because all of the flawed ones will die off. adaptaion is when a plant or animal adapts to its surrounding over time they may develop a charterisric that will help them thrive. all of them tie togethor
