BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Carbonic anhydrase is found in the blood, gastric mucosa and the minute quantity of same is in plasma. The carbonic anhydrase enzymes work to catalyze the conversion of carbon dioxide and water to the dissociated ions of carbonic acid. This produces bicarbonate anions which get dissolved in the blood plasma.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbonic Anhydrases This enzyme was first identified in 1933, in red blood cells of cows. Since then, it has been found to be abundant in all mammalian tissues, plants, algae and bacteria.

Detailed explanation-3: -carbonic anhydrase, enzyme found in red blood cells, gastric mucosa, pancreatic cells, and renal tubules that catalyzes the interconversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbonic acid (H2CO3). Carbonic anhydrase plays an important role in respiration by influencing CO2 transport in the blood.

Detailed explanation-4: -Carbonic anhydrase (CA) II is found in renal tubules, brain, and osteoclasts, and is critical in acid-base homeostasis and bone remodeling (McMahon et al., 2001; Lehenkari et al., 1998).
