Identify the enzyme that catalyses the reaction of CO ₂ with water in human body?

Options

  1. AFerroxidase
  2. BCatalase
  3. CNitrogenase
  4. DCarbonic anhydrase

Correct answer

A. Ferroxidase

Step-by-step solution

Carbonic anhydrase In the human body, the carbonic anhydrase enzyme catalyses the reaction of CO ₂ with water. It catalyses a reaction that converts CO ₂ and water into carbonic acid, which dissociates into protons and bicarbonate ions. It is found in red blood cells. CO ₂+ H ₂ O Carbonic anhydrase H ₂ CO ₃ CO ₂ is transported from tissues to the lungs through the bloodstream.
