Answer:

Alcohol Dehydrogenase

Explanation:

Alcohol consumed orally is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. About 90 to 98% of alcohol ingested is oxidized to acetaldehyde. This oxidation occurs on two levels:

a) At the gastrointestinal level, where alcohol is oxidized by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) in acetaldehyde. This enzyme, in addition to catalyzing the oxidation of ethanol, also catalyzes the oxidation of other alcohols.

b) At the hepatic level, where the main metabolism occurs, and alcohol is transformed into acetaldehyde mainly by the action of ADH, but also by the action of the microsomal oxidative system of alcohol, whose enzymes are activated to higher alcohol levels.

Which statement describes a healthy communication practice in a family?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

Answer Below----Please Mark Me Brainliest!!!

Explanation:

It should be D. A would make sense but there is not connection with the conversation which can sometimes be considered a unhealthy practice. Taking turns cooking doesn't involve talking, so it doesn't make sense (not b). While attending events that are important to others is a good thing, again it doesn't involve talking, so it's not C. That leads us to members relate to one another in different situations (d). That makes sense because in order to relate in different situations, it requires an unified, general topic that involves healthy communication.

I hope this helps!
