The pancreas is responsible for the elimination of 95% of ingested alcohol from the body through metabolism.

Biology
1 answer:
egoroff_w [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

<h2>False</h2>

Explanation:

The human body mechanisms try to excrete out the ethanol from the body before it gets circulated in the body through blood. The body does so by converting the ethanol to certain metabolic products which get filtered and excreted out through urine.

The metabolism of alcohol takes place in the liver in two steps- Ethanol is converted to acetaldehyde by the alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme. The acetaldehyde is toxic to cells and is the compound responsible for the hangover after drinking.

The acetaldehyde is then converted to acetic acid by an enzyme called acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. The acetic acid through respiration gets converted to water and carbon dioxide and rest is excreted out through urine.

Thus, the liver is the organ responsible for the metabolism of ethanol and not pancreas.

Name two examples of catastrophic events which could lead to a mass extinction?
Lemur [1.5K]

Asteroid impact

Volcanic eruptions

Explanation:

Asteroid impact and volcanic eruptions are two common events that could lead to a mass extinction.

A mass extinction is an abrupt decrease in life on earth due some catastrophic event.

  • The collision of a large bolide on the surface of the earth is a catastrophe in itself.
  • The collision and its aftermath have destructive consequences on life.
  • The force of the collision can reverberate in form of vibration throughout the earth.
  • It can cause heating of the earth surface.
  • Volcanic eruptions can become global phenomenon that upsets the earth balance.

QUESTION 2
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Xylem and phloem are the two conducting tissues of a vascular plants. They are referred to as vascular bundles. Xylem and phloem are responsible for conducting certain substances from one part of the plant to another.

The xylem is responsible for conducting WATER AND DISSOLVED MINERALS from the root of the plants to other parts e.g leaves, stem, flowers etc. while the phloem conducts sugar (product of photosynthesis) e.g glucose from the leaves of the plant to other parts including the stem, root etc.

According to this question, xylem or phloem does not conduct or carry gaseous substances like carbon dioxide (CO2).

Describe the role of decomposers in the rainforest ecosystem
Harrizon [31]
Just as they do in most ecosystems, decomposers feed off of dead or decaying matter, recycling it back into the ecosystem for plants to receive essential nutrients and to.. basically, de-clutter the world.
