Which organelle uses molecular oxygen to convert and detoxify harmful substances?
Peroxisomes are membranous sacs containing powerful oxidase enzymes that use molecular oxygen to detoxify a number of harmful or poisonous substances including alcohol and formaldehyde.(found in Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, edition 9, Elaine Marieb p. 73)
Do fatty acids Contain an alcohol group at one end?
The fatty acids have carboxylic group 'COOH' at terminal this is a group having 'OH' group attached to carbonyl carbon but it is not alcohol.
What is the function of a peroxisome in a cell and how does it contribute to cellular processes?
Peroxisomes are cell organelles that help break down fatty acids and detoxify harmful substances. They contribute to cellular processes by aiding in the breakdown of molecules and the production of important cellular components.
What are the two building blocks of lipids called?
The two building blocks of lipids are fatty acids and glycerol. Fatty acids are long hydrocarbon chains while glycerol is a three-carbon alcohol that serves as the backbone for triglycerides.
What are components of fats?
Fats are composed of fatty acids, which are chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms. They also contain glycerol, a type of alcohol that connects the fatty acids together to form triglycerides. Different types of fats can vary in the length and saturation of their fatty acid chains.
What type of digestive sacs in cells help to detoxify drugs and alcohol?
The digestive sacs in cells that help to detoxify drugs and alcohol are called lysosomes. Lysosomes contain enzymes that break down and neutralize various substances, including drugs and alcohol, to help with their elimination from the body.
What do bicarbonates decompose into when added to acids?
Sodium carbonate
What do Batteries do to the environment?
The acids leak into the ground and contaminate it. As well they do not decompose.
What is the definition for tertiary?
The third in order. It comes after the primary and the secondary.In Chemistry:Of or relating to salts of acids containing three replaceable hydrogen atoms.Of or relating to organic compounds in which a group, such as an alcohol or amine, is bound to three nonelementary radicals.
The activity of which organelle helps keep the ingestion of all but excessive amounts of ethyl alcohol from being fatal?
Peroxisomes hold enzymes that digest amino acids, fatty acids, and hydrogen peroxide, a toxic metabolic product. Enzymes convert hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen or use it in reactions that degrade alcohol and other toxins. Drink alcohol, and peroxisomes in liver and kidney cells usually degrade nearly half of it.
Which organelle uses molecular oxygen to convert and detoxify harmful substances?
Peroxisomes are membranous sacs containing powerful oxidase enzymes that use molecular oxygen to detoxify a number of harmful or poisonous substances including alcohol and formaldehyde.(found in Essentials of Human Anatomy & Physiology, edition 9, Elaine Marieb p. 73)
How do amino acids interact with alcohol in the body?
When alcohol is consumed, it can interfere with the absorption and utilization of amino acids in the body. This can lead to disruptions in protein synthesis and other important bodily functions. Additionally, excessive alcohol consumption can damage the liver, which is responsible for processing amino acids. Overall, alcohol can negatively impact the way amino acids are metabolized and utilized in the body.
Does Glycerol have fatty acids?
No, it's an alcohol.
Why is lead included in group 1 of basic radicals?
Lead (Pb) is included in group 1 of basic radicals because it forms basic oxides and hydroxides when reacting with acids. This means that lead compounds can neutralize acids and have properties of a basic radical.
Breaks down old warn out parts of cells?
Lysosomes contain acids that decompose parts of the cell.
When a cell membrane is damaged by a free radical which specific component of the cell membrane is damaged?
The unsaturated fatty acids in the phospholipid bilayer are the specific components of the cell membrane that are vulnerable to damage by free radicals. Free radicals can cause lipid peroxidation of these fatty acids, leading to membrane dysfunction and cell damage.
Are esterified fatty acids related to female hormones?
No. Fatty acids become esterified after interaction with an alcohol.
