How does ethanol prevent ethylene glycol poisoning?
Ethanol serves as a competitive inhibitor which competes with glycol for the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase's active site. Thus, less glycol will be oxidised
Why do Asians get drunk faster and sober faster?
A larger percentage of persons of Asian decent, have a dominant gene mutation which interferes with the role of an enzyme called acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. The role of this enzyme is to convert acetaldehyde, a metabolite of ethanol (alcohol), into acetic acid. Persons with this mutation therefore experience higher levels of acetaldehyde in their systems when they consume alcohol.
Can ethanol dissolve in alcohol?
Ethanol is already an alcohol.
Is ethanol a sugar?
No, ethanol is an alcohol.
Is alcohol and ethanol the same?
In common terminology the term alcohol refers to ethanol. However, in chemistry ethanol is only one of many kinds of alcohol. Only ethanol (a.k.a. ethyl alcohol) is used in beverages.
Alcohol Dehydrogenase functions to convert alcohol into?
Its components
What happens to alcohol when it goes into your blood?
Blood is pumped through the liver where alcohol is metabolized and removed. Ethanol within the human body is converted into acetaldehyde by alcohol dehydrogenase and then into acetic acid by acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. The product of the first step of this breakdown, acetaldehyde, is even more toxic than ethanol.
What is the enzyme that detoxifies alcohol?
ADH (alcohol dehydrogenase) ADH (alcohol dehydrogenase)
What enzyme is used to change glucose into fructose?
In the major pathway of ethanol metabolism the 2 enzymes involved are alcohol dehydrogenase, aldehyde dehydrogenase and thiokinase. ethanol + NAD+ <=> acetaldehyde + NADH + H+ (ethanol dehydrogenase) acetaldehyde + NAD+ <=> acetate + NADH + H+ (aldehyde dehydrogenase) acetate + coA + ATP <=> acetyl coA + AMP + PPi (thiokinase)
How does ethanol prevent ethylene glycol poisoning?
Ethanol serves as a competitive inhibitor which competes with glycol for the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase's active site. Thus, less glycol will be oxidised
Can alcohol be broken down by chemical means?
It can be converted to water and carbon dioxide by setting it on fire. Ethanol can be broken down in the body by an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase.
What is action of alcohol dehydrogenase and how it affects the health?
Alcohol dehydrogenase is an enzyme that breaks down alcohol into acetaldehyde. It keeps you from dying of alcohol poisoning.
What does the liver oxidize alcohol into?
Alcohol dehydrogenase

Does Bactranol stand for Bacterial Transformation Ethanol?
Yes. Bactranol or Bacterial Transformation ethanol can be used to convert cellulose directly into ethanol using complex marine bacterium that can convert waste green material into ethanol. This is a method of Ceetol production. Ceetol is the abbreviation for Cellulosic Ethanol. (CeEtOl - Cellulosic Ethanol OL - denotes Alcohol)
What enzymes can digest alcohol?
dehydrogenase
Can ethanol dissolve in alcohol?
Ethanol is already an alcohol.
