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.

In order to be carried in the chylomicron, retinol (once in the enterocyte) is _____.â
FinnZ [79.3K]
In order to be carried in the chylomicron, retinol (once in the enterocyte) is esterified by lecithin retinol acyl transferase. 
All-trans-retinol is referred to as vitamin A, when a fatty acyl group is esterified to the hydroxyl terminus of retinol, a storage form of retinol, the retinyl ester, is formed. In tissues, retinal serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of retinoic acid from retinol.

It is crucial that the process of mitosis is error free. This is because otherwise healthy cells can
kherson [118]

The correct answer is that it becomes cancer cells.  

Mitosis refers to the kind of cell differentiation, which leads to the formation of two daughter cells, and each comprising the same type and amount of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, generally of ordinary tissue growth.  

The process of mitosis should be error free as otherwise healthy cells can turn into cancer cells. Cancer is basically a disorder of mitosis, in this case, the usual checkpoints, which are monitoring mitosis are overridden or ignored by the cancer cells.  

Cancer initiates when a single cell is converted or transformed into a normal cell to a cancer cell and is generally taking place due to a modification in function of one of many genes, which usually work to monitor growth, like p53 gene or tumor suppressor gene.
