When under the influence of a 12 ounce beer, blood alcohol concentration can be reduced by <u>allow your body time - at least 1 hour to get rid of alcohol</u>

<h3>What is blood alcohol content (BAC)?</h3>

The amount of alcohol in your blood is measured by your blood alcohol content (BAC), commonly referred to as blood alcohol concentration.

Beer, wine, and liquor all contain alcohol (also known as ethanol or ethyl alcohol), which makes people feel dizzy. When you consume an alcoholic beverage, the alcohol is quickly absorbed by your stomach and small intestines and enters your bloodstream. Your liver then metabolizes the alcohol to filter it out of your blood because alcohol is toxic to your body.

Your BAC will rise and you may experience the symptoms of alcoholism, commonly known as intoxication, if you consume alcohol more quickly than your liver can break it down. Your liver can typically process one alcoholic drink each hour. 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of liquor are commonly considered to equal one alcoholic drink. However, the alcohol content of various beers and wines might vary.

Your blood alcohol content can change depending on a number of variables, such as:

  • how much alcohol you're consuming.
  • how quickly you consume alcohol.
  • if you consumed a lot of food before drinking.
  • Your weight and age.

Levart [38]

Answer: The more active cells produce more carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

When the cells are constantly working the amount of oxygen consumed and more amount of carbon dioxide is released by the cells.

Chemo receptors in the circulatory system increases the ventilation so that more carbon dioxide can go out of the cell and more oxygen can get inside the cell.

This is because the more active cells more carbon dioxide and there is a sudden increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide which need to be corrected by the help of ventilation.

Does anyone know what cells are in the respiratory system
tangare [24]

Answer:

The respiratory epithelium in trachea and bronchi is pseudostratified and primarily consists of three main cell types – cilia cells, goblet cells, and basal cells. The ciliated cells are located across the apical surface and facilitate the movement of mucus across the airway tract.

How would the inability to make saliva affect digestion?
irina [24]
I believe the inability to make saliva would affect digestion drastically. The first phase in the process of digestion comes with saliva - it breaks down some substances in your mouth, because it contains amylase which helps during this process. If it weren't for saliva, you probably wouldn't even be able to swallow food - and even if you did, it would be almost impossible to break it down in your body.

DNA Polymerase helps copy a DNA molecule during the process of what?
PtichkaEL [24]
The DNA polymerases are enzymes that create DNA molecules by assembling nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA. These enzymes are essential to DNA replication and usually work in pairs to create two identical DNA strands from one original DNA molecule. During this process, DNA polymerase “reads” the existing DNA strands to create two new strands that match the existing ones.

Every time a cell divides, DNA polymerase is required to help duplicate the cell’s DNA, so that a copy of the original DNA molecule can be passed to each of the daughter cells. In this way, genetic information is transmitted from generation to generation.

Before replication can take place, an enzyme called helicase unwinds the DNA molecule from its tightly woven form. This opens up or “unzips” the double stranded DNA to give two single strands of DNA that can be used as templates for replication.

DNA polymerase adds new free nucleotides to the 3’ end of the newly-forming strand, elongating it in a 5’ to 3’ direction. However, DNA polymerase cannot begin the formation of this new chain on its own and can only add nucleotides to a pre-existing 3'-OH group. A primer is therefore needed, at which nucleotides can be added. Primers are usually composed of RNA and DNA bases and the first two bases are always RNA. These primers are made by another enzyme called primase.

Although the function of DNA polymerase is highly accurate, a mistake is made for about one in every billion base pairs copied. The DNA is therefore “proofread” by DNA polymerase after it has been copied so that misplaced base pairs can be corrected. This preserves the integrity of the original DNA strand that is passed onto the daughter cells.

Structure of DNA polymerase

The structure of DNA polymerase is highly conserved, meaning their catalytic subunits vary very little from one species to another, irrespective of how their domains are structured. This highly conserved structure usually indicates that the cellular functions they perform are crucial and irreplaceable and therefore require rigid maintenance to ensure their evolutionary advantage.

Plant cells that are specialized for cell division are most likely found in what part of a plant?
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Terrestrial plants have stomata on the surface of their leaves. A single stomata is surrounded by two guard cells that change shape in response to environmental factors and open or close the stoma.
