In this reaction, all reactants and products are invisible. The heat being evolved is the clue that tells you a reaction is taking place. This is a good example of an exothermic reaction, a reaction in which heat is given off. A lot of reactions are exothermic.
Prothrombinase will cleave prothrombin to make thrombin and thrombin is the enzyme that cuts fibrinogen to make fibrin for clot formation [Blood Clotting: The Basics]. The platelet prothrombinase activity is the same as the activity on TP-bearing cells: itâs formed from Xa and membrane-bound Va.
transduction (prokaryotes) Transduction is the process by which a virus transfers genetic material from one bacterium to another. Viruses called bacteriophages are able to infect bacterial cells and use them as hosts to make more viruses. After multiplying, these viruses assemble and occasionally remove a portion of the host cell's bacterial DNA.
