Ethanol is an important industrial chemical; it is used as a solvent, in the synthesis of other organic chemicals, and as an additive to automotive gasoline (forming a mixture known as a gasohol). Ethanol is also the intoxicating ingredient of many alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine, and distilled spirits.
PROPERTIES
Pure ethanol is a flammable, colorless liquid with a boiling point of 78.5° C. Its low melting point of -114.5° C allows it to be used in antifreeze products. It has a pleasant odor reminiscent of whiskey. Its density is 789 g/l about 20% less than that of water.
There are three main energy routing systems through which the body uses the energy needed to perform various activities. One of the phosphate energy pathways that uses creatine phosphate (CP).
ATP production rate is very fast. CP is important for its remodeling after ATP breaks down during energy release. The muscle does not have much CP storage and therefore it is limited in supply, however, it is readily available at the start of an activity.
It is commonly used in activities such as gymnastics and weightlifting. The other system is anaerobic glycolysis, which does not require oxygen. It produces faster ATP for operations that require large amounts of energy in a relatively long period of time
East. Free hand exercises. Other pathways include the phosphine pathway (which uses the instant source) and the aerobic route (which uses fat or carbohydrates).
In the case of a marathon, the aerobic energy path will power the runner.
