A inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase would:______

Biology
2 answers:
Naily [24]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

c. increase blood pH.

d. interfere with oxygen binding to hemoglobin.

Explanation:

A inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase increases the pH of the blood due to prevent the production of carbonic acid from the carbon dioxide formed during cellular respiration. This carbonic acid decreases the pH of the blood so inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase is responsible for the increase in the pH. It also interfere with oxygen binding to hemoglobin because oxygen bind with hemoglobin in low pH but the pH is higher due to inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase.

Answer:

d. interfere with oxygen binding to hemoglobin

Explanation:

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors are commonly used as diuretic drugs (usually for treatment against high blood pressure), acting in the carbonic anhydrase enzime, in the proximal tubes of the kidneys.

To achieve this effect, these diuretics inhibit the reabsorption of sodium bicarbonate, and consequently, reducing its concentration in the blood due to the high excretion of this compound.

Thus, by eliminating more bicarbonate, an increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood plasma can occur, which makes it difficult to fix oxygen in the red blood cells, in addition to causing metabolic acidosis, by decreasing blood pH.

So the correct alternative is "D", while the others are false.

Goryan [66]
Okay so northern Africa and the Sahara desert is the best example of desertification.
2 ways humans have contributed to that is: 1) pastoral nomadism 2) little to no settlements to increase water supply 

how it impacted the environment: so now the environment there is sandy, only organisms adapted for those extreme environment can live there ex. camel, cactus, etc., 

how it impacted quality of life: quality of life diminished, not enough water to sufficiently feed the populations, people live in extreme poverty, people are moving away, and the climate is very dry and hot, pretty much not a place anyone would want to live

Which of the following statements about the effects of pollution on marine ecosystems is true?
ankoles [38]

Answer is b. Burning fossil fuels causes a decrease in the pH of ocean water making it more acidic.

Burning of fossil fuels release carbon dioxide and other harmful gases in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide gets dissolves in the ocean to form carbonic acid.  Due to formation carbonic acid, the pH of ocean water changes slightly. The average pH of ocean water was 8.2 slightly basic. Now it 8.1, it means there is 25 % increase in acidity of ocean water.
