The correct Answer is:
To solve the question about how fibrins are formed from inactive fibrinogen during blood clotting, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Components**: - Fibrinogen is a soluble plasma protein that is converted into fibrin during the clotting process. - Fibrin is an insoluble protein that forms a mesh-like structure, which is essential for blood clotting. 2. **Identifying the Enzyme**: - The conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin is catalyzed by a specific enzyme. We need to identify this enzyme from the options provided. 3. **Options Analysis**: - The options given are: - a) Thrombin - b) Thrombokinase - c) Triatumkinase - d) Heparin 4. **Correct Enzyme Identification**: - Thrombin is the enzyme that converts inactive fibrinogen into fibrin. It acts on fibrinogen in the presence of calcium ions to facilitate this conversion. - Thrombokinase is involved in the activation of prothrombin to thrombin, but it does not directly convert fibrinogen to fibrin. - Triatumkinase is not a recognized enzyme in the context of blood clotting. - Heparin is an anticoagulant that prevents clotting, rather than promoting it. 5. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the correct answer to the question is **option a) thrombin**. ### Final Answer: In blood clotting, fibrins are formed from inactive fibrinogen by the enzyme **thrombin**. ---
