A blood alcohol concentration of percent or greater is considered legally intoxicated in most states?
.08
How does body fat affect alcohol absorption?
Body fat does not absorb alcohol so the fatter a person is, the greater the concentration of alcohol in the blood, other things being equal.

There is a greater concentration of na plus and there is a greater concentration of k plus in the cell?
There is a greater concentration of Na plus outside and there is a greater concentration of K plus inside the cell. When the stimulus is delivered, the permeability of the membrane is changed, and Na plus diffuses into the cell, initiating the depolarization of the membrane.
What are the good effect of physical change?
Although anyone can become intoxicated while drinking, the alcoholic is less likely to recognize the signs and control his or her intake. Intoxication is produced by alcohol as it circulates in the blood and acts to depress the central nervous system (see depressant). Alcohol can pass directly into the bloodstream. The absorption rate depends principally on the concentration of the drug in the stomach and small intestine. This concentration is limited by the presence of alcohol dehydrogenase. Because women normally carry less alcohol dehydrogenase in their intestines, they usually consume less alcohol than men before showing its effects. Alcohol is not stored in the body or excreted but is metabolized in the liver at a fixed rate of between 0.25 and 0.33 oz (7.1-9.4 grams) per hour, varying with the individual. Thus alcohol is found in the bloodstream and signs of intoxication appear when the rate of alcohol consumption is greater than the rate at which it is metabolized in the liver. At a blood level of about .05%, alcohol impairs concentration, visual function, psychomotor performance, and reaction time. For many years the legal standard for drunkenness in most states was a blood alcohol level of .10%, but in many states it now is .08%. The lethal level, often given as .60%, may be as low as .40% in some people. Blood alcohol concentrations are measured by breath (the Breathalyzer test), blood, or urine tests.
Why is it important to maintain a stable pH level in your body at all times?
Because if you don't maintain a constant pH you will become ill. Alcoholic intoxication is a classic point. The Alcohol(Ethanol/Ethyl Alcohol) alter the bodies pH . With excess alcohol the pH is altered to a greater extent, so you will feel ill (hangover).
Where is the absorbed in the digestive system?
Approximately 80% of alcohol is absorbed in the upper portion of the small intestine. The rate of absorption depends upon things like:the concentration of alcohol in the beverage - the greater the concentration, the faster the absorptionthe type of drink - Carbonated Beverages tend to speed up the absorption of alcoholwhether the stomach is full or empty - food slows down alcohol absorption.

In the State of Florida what is the minimum Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) level in order to be considered under the influence?
It's not illegal to have a certain level in your blood. It's illegal if you want to drive.
How many times greater ias the concentration of DDT in fish than seawater?
The concentration of DDT in the fish is 430,000 times greater than the concentration of DDT in the water.
What controls the rate of diffusion?
The rate of diffusion is directly related to the concentration of gradient. For example, the greater the amount between the concentration of the areas, the greater the greater to difference in diffusion.
