No, that statement is not accurate. Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) refers specifically to the amount of alcohol present in a person's bloodstream, expressed as a percentage of alcohol per deciliter of blood. It does not measure the relationship between alcohol and oxygen in the blood. BAC is used to determine levels of intoxication and is typically influenced by factors such as the amount of alcohol consumed and the individual's body weight.
No. It is the level or percentage of alcohol in the bloodstream.
BAC, or Blood Alcohol Concentration, refers to the percentage of alcohol present in a person's bloodstream. It is typically expressed as grams of alcohol per deciliter of blood. BAC does not directly relate to oxygen levels; rather, it measures the amount of alcohol compared to the total volume of blood. A higher BAC indicates greater impairment and intoxication.
Primarily because alcohol replaces the water in your cells. As this happens to the red blood cells, their capacity to carry oxygen to your brain is decreased. At a concentration of one part alcohol to just around 250 parts blood (0.40%), the red blood cells lose all ability to carry oxygen and the brain dies from alcohol poisoning. On top of that, alcohol has a diuretic effect, causing increased urination, further decreasing the water in the body.The combination of lack of oxygen and dehydration is what makes you drunk.■
alcohol through fermentation.
Yeast help in the production of alcohol through the process of fermentation, where they convert sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. They do not directly produce oxygen, glucose, or salts.
When alcohol consumption is high, the primary pathway for metabolism of alcohol is the microsomal ethanol-oxidizing system (MEOS), primarily involving the enzyme CYP2E1. This pathway becomes more active when the alcohol concentration exceeds the capacity of the primary pathway, which is the alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) system. MEOS is particularly important in metabolizing large amounts of alcohol and can also produce reactive oxygen species, contributing to liver damage.
There are at least carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms on an alcohol molecule.
Yes. The alcohol found in drinks has the chemical formula C2H6O, indicating that each molecule contains a single oxygen atom. Since this oxygen is not in the form of O2, however, we cannot use it as we use the oxygen in air.
Isopropenal alcohol is made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
Oxygen
It is a compound, because an element, such as hydrogen, and another, such as oxygen are in Ethyl Alcohol.
Drinking alcohol is called ethanol, and it contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. (C6H5OH)
