Grapefruit can affect the absorption of quinine sulfate by inhibiting the enzyme CYP3A4, which is involved in the metabolism of many drugs, including quinine. This inhibition can lead to increased concentrations of quinine in the bloodstream, potentially enhancing its effects and side effects. As a result, consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice while taking quinine sulfate may necessitate closer monitoring of the drug's efficacy and safety. It is advisable to consult a healthcare provider before combining these substances.

Whether the weight of a fruit affects its ability to float?

It is not the weight of the fruit that affects it's ability to float.It is it's DENSITY that is the key. Soft pulpy fruit incorporating a lot of air inside will generally float since their density is below 1.00(1.00 being fresh water). Hard and densely packed nuts may well sink if their density rise above 1.00

What tends to speed up the absorption of alcohol fruit punch water or carbonated beverages?

These do not speed up the absorption of alcohol. The typical body processes alcohol at the rate of 1 unit per hour. There is no quick fix for absorption. Although I'm not sure about the effect of fruit punch on alcohol absorption, carbonated beverages DO increase alcohol absorption, I think the previous answer is confusing alcohol absorption with alcohol metabolism. In particular the increased temperature of your body causes the CO2 gas to come out of solution and speeds up alcohol assimilation into the blood stream. Assuming the same amount of alcohol as a non-carbonated beverage, the increased speed of assimilation will increase the rate at which alcohol can go to your body's tissues (with the exception of fat), ALTHOUGH this will not change the rate of your liver's alcohol metabolism.

What happens to the cell structure of fresh fruit once its liquidized?

When fresh fruit is liquidized, the cell structure is broken down, releasing the juices and nutrients within the cells. This results in a smoother consistency and easier digestion compared to eating the whole fruit. The process of liquidizing also makes the nutrients more readily available for absorption by the body.
