Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The swallowing of alcohol directly passes the alcohol into the esophagus then into small intestine via the stomach.  Alcohol can be directly absorbed in the blood stream of the organism.

Alcohol does not require the normal digestion process.  Around 80% alcohol absorption occur in small intestine and 20% absorption occur in the stomach. Liver regulates the alcohol metabolism.

Thus, the correct answer is option (b).

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Alcohol travels through body from mouth, to stomach, into circulatory system, brain, kidneys, lungs and liver.

Alcohols when consumed gets passed through the mouth in the stomach. <u>As carbohydrates, alcohol are not digested as the molecule is very small and can easily pass through stomach lining, where the alcohol passes directly into bloodstream.  Once it enters bloodstream, the alcohol is quickly distributed evenly throughout body.</u>

Hormone that does not cause vasoconstriction?
oee [108]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C-ANP (Atrial natriuretic peptide).

Explanation:

Vasoconstriction is the narrowing of the blood vessels which can stop or block the blood flow.

Vasoconstriction reduces the urine formation during stress conditions through the action of hormones like ADH (anti-diuretic hormone), norepinephrine, epinephrine and angiotensin II produced via the sympathetic nervous system.

The atrial natriuretic hormone (ANP) is a cardiac hormone produced to lower the blood pressure or reduce blood plasma through vasodilation, increased vascular permeability and increase renal excretion.  

Thus, option C is the correct answer.

A person is considered legally intoxicated in most states with a blood alcohol level of 80.0 mg/dl. calculate this concentration
Furkat [3]

The concentration expressed in parts per million is 782 ppm.

<h3>What is Parts per million?</h3>

It is calculated by dividing the mass of the solution by the mass of a solute present in one million (10⁶) parts.

<h3>Calculation for units in ppm:</h3>

Given:

Mass of  blood alcohol =  80 mg/dL = 80 x 10^{5} g/mL

Density of blood plasma or Mass of blood plasma = 1.023 g/mL

Concentration in ppm = (Mass of alcohol/Mass of plasma) x 10^{6}

= (80 x 10^{5} g/mL/ 1.023 g/mL) x 10^{6}

= 782 ppm

Hence, the concentration expressed in parts per million is 782 ppm.
