The following options are attached to the above question:

A. Metabolism

B. Absorption

C. Oxidation

D. Excretion


ANSWER

The correct option is C.

Biological oxidation of alcohol is the process by which the liver handles the presence of alcohol in the body system. The liver is responsible for metabolizing the alcohol that are present in the body. The metabolism of alcohol occurs in two steps; the first step is the oxidation of alcohol to ethanal or acetaldehyde. This product is very toxic to the human body and is majorly responsible for the symptoms of hangover that drinkers usually experience. The liver oxidises ethanal to acetic acid as quickly as possible in order to prevent damage to the body system.

It is the Oxidation process that is in the liver and gets rid of 90% of alcohol that may be present in the bloodstream. This is a constant process that never stops. There is also a Oxidation process that occurs in the kidneys.

Alex

Answer:

Basophils of the blood help to get defensive leukocytes to the site quickly by releasing an anticoagulant called ___heparin_______ and a vasodilator called _____histamine_____

Explanation:

Basophils are a type of white blood cell containing specific granules that release histamine (vasodilator) and heparin (a substance with anticoagulant action) and azurophilic granules that contain lysosomes. They are important in allergic and anaphylactic processes.

A student formulated a hypothesis that water-soluble pollutants damage living organisms by increasing the permeability of cellul
xenn [34]

Answer:

The absorbance of 460nm light by the treatment solutions was the test performed by the student.

Explanation:

Cell membranes are phospholipid bilayers which are mostly displayed by the 'fluid mosaic model' which consists of proteins, carbohydrate polymers and glycoproteins making them able to move around quite freely amongst the phospholipids. A normal membrane permeability test involves investigating the effects of a named variable on the membrane permeability of any vegetable such as beetroot whose biological name is Beta Vulgaris. The variables to investigate are the influence of solvents and temperature because these factors can change the fluidity of the membrane. Beetroot is an important item for this test because of the distinctive betalains pigment that its stem tuber contains. These pigments form an important signal indicating membrane fluidity as they are usually contained in the vacuole of intact beetroot cells. An instant or constant increase in membrane fluidity will cause the pigment to spill out of the cell, and the amount of pigment can be measured simply by using a colorimeter.

The above description is performed under the test of The absorbance of 460nm light by the treatment solutions.

Which form of natural selection on polygenic traits results in the creation of two distinct phenotypes? A. Directional selection
mojhsa [17]

Answer;

-Disruptive selection

Disruptive selection results in the creation of two distinct phenotypes.

Explanation;

-Disruptive selection is a type of natural selection that selects against the average individual in a population. The make up of this type of population would show phenotypes of both extremes but have very few individuals in the middle.

-The variance of the trait increases and the population is divided into two distinct groups. The disruptive selection will cause organisms with intermediate traits to reproduce less, and will allow those organisms with extreme traits to reproduce more.

What makes cell differentiation possible?​
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Cell differentiation is how generic embryonic cells become specialized cells.

Explanation:

This occurs through a process called gene expression. Gene expression is the specific combination of genes that are turned on or off (expressed or repressed), and this is what dictates how a cell functions

In comparing several populations of the same species, the population with the greatest genetic variation would have the greatest
babunello [35]

Answer:

The population with the greatest genetic variation may have:  

- The greatest number of alleles per gene

- The largest gene pool

Explanation:

A higher number of alleles will produce a higher total number of protein forms per gene. Moreover, the largest gene pool will synthesize the largest content of proteins, thereby increasing variation
