What are the conditions that lead to a "beer gut" due to the excess consumption of alcohol? NADH produced from the metabolism of

ethanol stimulates the citric acid cycle for glucose-derived acetyl CoA. Excess ethanol metabolism leads to an accumulation of NADH that inhibits fatty acid metabolism. The processing of acetate in the liver becomes inefficient leading to a pH imbalance in liver cells, reducing enzyme efficiency in general. NADH inhibits ketone body formation, stimulating glucose rather than fatty acid metabolism. NADH stimulates citric acid cycle enzymes that stimulates glucose-derived acetyl CoA metabolism.

Answer: Excess ethanol metabolism leads to an accumulation of NADH that inhibits fatty acid metabolism.

Explanation:

Fatty acid metabolism is often activated by limited or absence of NADH, however ethanol (the main constituent of most alcoholic drinks) on metabolism yields several molecules of NADH which rather stimulates belly/abdominal fat production often referred to as "beer gut".

The chromosomes of offspring are not identical to those of their parents or siblings because ______ is shuffled during meiosis.
tigry1 [53]

The chromosomes of offspring are not identical to those of their parents or siblings because <u>genetic information</u> is shuffled during meiosis.

Meiosis can be described as a cell division process by which gamete cells divide. The number of chromosomes is reduced to half in this cell division process.

During the process of meiosis, genetic information is shuffled between non-sister chromatids of the homologous chromosomes. This shuffling process is referred to as crossing over. A new combination of alleles is formed due to the process of crossing over.

It is due to the process of crossing over that the organisms produced are not identical to each other or the parents. Genetic diversity is important in order for populations to survive which is possible through the process of meiosis.
