The 2 in front of the oxygen gas and the 2 in front of the water vapor are called the reaction coefficients. They indicate the number of each chemical species that reacts or is formed. Methane and oxygen (oxygen is a diatomic â two-atom â element) are the reactants, while carbon dioxide and water are the products.
Pyrophosphatase (or inorganic pyrophosphatase) is an enzyme (EC 3.6.1.1) that catalyzes the conversion of one molecule of pyrophosphate to two phosphate ions.he functionality of this enzyme plays a critical role in lipid metabolism (including lipid synthesis and degradation), calcium absorption and bone formation, and DNA synthesis, as well as other biochemical transformations.
Alkaline phosphatase is an enzyme produced by the body to help break down certain types of molecules, such as proteins. The liver produces most of the alkaline phosphatase in our bodies, but the intestines, kidneys and bones produce small amounts, too. Alkaline phosphatase is measured by blood testing. Called the ALP test, it is useful for diagnosing several diseases and conditions. For example, high ALP levels can indicate blocked bile ducts in the liver, bone disease or Celiac disease. Low ALP levels can indicate certain types of anemias or, rarely, specific types of cancer. It's worth noting that oral contraceptives (birth control pills) also can cause low ALP levels.
