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.

Identify the following structure:
nika2105 [10]

Answer: I included a labeled graph of both a plant cell and an animal cell. I don't know if you needed an explanation of what they do, too, but I'll include it anyway.

Explanation:

The Cell Membrane, or plasma membrane, provides protection for the cell. It also transports substances in and out of the cell.

The Cell Wall (only plants) provides the structure for a plant, as well as added protection.

The Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, providing energy for our cells to do their work. They produce a small molecule called ATP (adenosine triphosphate), where the energy is stored and sent to where it is needed.

The Lysosomes are the waste facilities of cells. They breakdown excess or worn-out cell parts, destroy foreign or invading bacteria, and digest macromolecules (carbs, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids)
