Answer:

B) Ethanol must act as a competitive inhibitor for the alcohol dehydrogenase and therefore slows the formation of formaldehyde.

Explanation:

An<em> inhibitor</em> is a substance that binds to an enzime and prevents it to react with a substrate. In this case, the inhibitor is ethanol, binding to the enzime (alcohol dehydrogenase) <u>and preventing it to react with methanol and thus from it form the toxic formaldehyde</u>.

A competitive inhibitor has a similar structure to the substrate, that is why it binds to the same active site. In this case, ethanol has a similar structure to methanol, which is why the answer is B and not A.

Sophie [7]

Answer:

The eluting strength of a solvent is primarily related to how strongly it adsorbs onto the  adsorbent and because typical adsorbents are highly polar; thus, eluting strength increases  with solvent polarity.

Explanation:

The polarity of a solvent makes it more suitable for elution in a polar adsorbent. Hence the choice of solvents should be in order of increasing rather than decreasing polarity. polarity must increase and not decrease
