Answer:

False

Explanation:

Oxidation process occurring in liver rids bloodstream of not 32% of alcohol present.

Once the alcohol enters the body, 5 percent of it is excreted in the form of the urine and another 5 percent is eliminated from the body by exhaling and the rest of the alcohol is converted to acetic acid by oxidation.

Thus,

Oxidation process occurring in liver rids bloodstream of 90% of alcohol present.

Answer: False

Explanation:

The oxidation that takes place in the liver oxidizes almost 90 percent of the alcohol that is found in the bloodstream. The oxidation of alcohol in the liver is a constant process.

the rest of the alcohol from the body is removed via urine which constitutes to almost 5 percent.

The rest of the 5 percent alcohol from the body is removed from lungs because it exhales alcohol which can be easily detected by breathalyzer.

The alcohol is converted into acetic acid in liver.

Much of the regulation of gluconeogenesis is a result of the inhibition of ________. Much of the regulation of gluconeogenesis i

Monica [59]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- Glycolysis.

Explanation:

Gluconeogenesis is a metabolic pathway which synthesizes glucose from non-sugar precursors. This pathway is activated in the low concentration of glucose due to less intake or completely absent to conserve energy.

This pathway is somewhat the reverse of the glycolysis when excess energy is present as a result of glycolysis, gluconeogenesis is inhibited and when no energy is present, gluconeogenesis is activated.

Thus, option- glycolysis is the correct answer.
