Answer:

The correct definition of detoxification is the physical process of freeing the body of an addictive substance (option 3).

Explanation:

Detoxification encompasses all the physiological processes the body goes through to eliminate harmful or toxic substances, including drugs and addictive substances.

Depending on the nature of the substance, the organs involved in detoxification are the liver and the kidney. The detoxification process can be induced medically, by means of antidotes, blockers and antagonists of the toxic substance.

Detoxification can be used as a term to describe the period of time it takes for an organism to become clean.

The other options are not correct because:

1. A person who creates an atmosphere for an alcoholic to continue his behavior is an inducer of alcoholism.

2. The process of learning to live without alcohol is a step toward quitting drinking and becoming detoxified.

4. A meeting where family and friends get a problem drinker to seek help is an intervention.

Which of following statements are true? Proteins are readily used by the body for energy. Proteins are made from amino acids. Pr

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Proteins are made from amino acids.

DNA contains the code for building proteins.

Explanation:

"Proteins" are made of small organic molecules called "amino acids." These are its building blocks and it helps make the protein in its linear chains.

Proteins are not readily used by the body for energy, instead the body readily uses carbohydrates for energy.

Proteins do not contain the code for building DNA, rather, the DNA contains the code for building proteins. These codes are like DNA instructions which are converted into an "RNA message." This message is then translated in order to produce protein.
