The cation (mineral) necessary for coagulation of blood is
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Ca
The presence of calcium and other clotting factors, Factor X activates an enzyme called prothrombin activator. The enzyme prothrombin activator then converts plasma protein prothrombin into thrombin. Thrombin is the enzyme which in turn converts fibrinogen into fibrin. Polymerized fibrin together with platelets forms a clot at the wound site. Hence The cation (mineral) necessary for coagulation of blood is Ca.So, the correct answer is 'Ca'.
