Most alcohol consumed is metabolized by the liver. true or false?

Biology

spin [16.1K]3 years ago
5 0

Most of the alcohol consumed is metabolized by an enzyme present in liver of human beings called as alcohol dehydrogenase.The metabolism of alcohol occurs in two simple steps .During the first step of metabolism  alcohol is converted into acetaldehyde by the enzyme called alcohol dehydogenase (ADG) and the product formed  is acetyldehyde .This acetyldehyde is then broken down into another product called acetate with the help of enzyme aldehyde dehydrogease (ALDH) which in turn is converted into carbon dioxide and water.

Punnett squares provide an easy way to predict the possible genotypes for an offspring, but it is not practical to perform a Pun
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

There are certain limitations associated with the Punnett Squares. They are not useful in case of complex genetic inheritance such as linkage between two genes. In case of linkages it becomes difficult to estimate the distribution of genotypes and phenotypes. For example in case of  Nail-patella Syndrome and gene associated with blood group two genes lie on the same chromosome in close vicinity and hence there are high chances of inheritance of these traits in the offspring from the parent thereby causing  random distribution of the two traits. This random distribution cannot be captured through punnet square.  

The same problem is associated in case where a single gene is determined by multiple genes with graded effects of each gene.

"In proteins, structural segments called ____ provide flexibility that allow parts of the protein to bend, fold, or move."
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

The correct answer is "random coils".

Explanation:

Random coil is a type of polypeptide secondary structure comprised of conformation that do not follow an established conformation but rather are oriented randomly. These random coils conformations provides flexibility to proteins, since the lack of a particular structure (such as alpha helices or beta sheets), allows the protein to bend, fold or move.
