Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

The rate and amount of decomposition of alcohol depends on the amount of body fat in an individual. The activity of enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase that breaks down alcohol is affected by concentration of body fat and water.  

The higher the body fat and the lower is the body water and fluid, the higher is the activity of enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase.  

Thus, the higher activity of enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase ensures higher rate of breakdown of alcohol due to which level of alcohol concentration in blood of  an individual reduces.  

Hence, option A is correct

How are viruses spread from cell to cell?
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Replicate itself into the cell host

Explanation:

Visus is made from a protein capsule and inside a fragment of RNA. Sometimes they also have some feet of filament to get attached to the cellular membrane.

Once attached, the virus injects its RNA into the cytoplasm and travels to the nucleus and insert this fragment of RNA into the cell DNA and start making copies of itself.

When the cell is full of virus, the membrane breaks and releases all the new virus to the neighbor cells, and the process starts again.

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is one of the two components of the nervous system, the other part is the central nervous system (CNS). The PNS consists of the nerves and ganglia outside the brain and spinal cord.[1] The main function of the PNS is to connect the CNS to the limbs and organs, essentially serving as a relay between the brain and spinal cord and the rest of the body.[2] Unlike the CNS, the PNS is not protected by the vertebral column and skull, or by the blood–brain barrier, which leaves it exposed to toxins and mechanical injuries. The peripheral nervous system is divided into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. In the somatic nervous system, the cranial nerves are part of the PNS with the exception of the optic nerve(cranial nerve II), along with the retina. The second cranial nerve is not a true peripheral nerve but a tract of the diencephalon.[3]Cranial nerve ganglia originated in the CNS. However, the remaining ten cranial nerve axons extend beyond the brain and are therefore considered part of the PNS.[4] The autonomic nervous system is an involuntary control of smooth muscle and glands. The connection between CNS and organs allows the system to be in two different functional states: sympathetic and parasympathetic
