Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fibrinogen is the soluble protein that is acted on to form the insoluble protein fibrin, which actually forms the clot.

Answer: D
 Prothrombin activator is the enzyme that converts the inactive prothrombin to the active enzyme thrombin, which plays a key role in the clotting process.

Answer: F
 Prothrombin is the inactive protein that is converted to the active enzyme thrombin by the action of prothrombin activator.

Answer: H
 Thrombin is the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of soluble fibrinogen to insoluble fibrin, which forms the clot.

Answer: G
 Vitamin K is a cofactor that is required for the production of several clotting factors, including prothrombin.

Note: The other substances listed (A, B, E, and I) are also involved in blood clot formation, but do not match the given descriptions or functions.
