Which statement is true about blood alcohol concentration?

A) The higher the blood alcohol concentration, the more severe the hangover will be. B) Drinking coffee and exercising will lower your blood alcohol concentration.
C) Blood alcohol concentration is affected by factors such as body size and gender. D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Blood alcohol concentration is affected by factors such as body size and gender.

Explanation:

Blood alcohol concentration is affected by factors such as body size and gender. Women are usually smaller than men, and that they turn out less of the enzyme that breaks down alcohol.

 

For those reasons, most girls can have a higher BAC than the typical male if they each drink an identical quantity of alcohol.

Q:

How many amino acids are found in living organisms?

A) 1500 B) 3000
C) 20 D) 4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 20

Explanation:

Amino acids are a crucial, yet basic unit of protein, and they contain an amino group and a carboxylic group. They play an extensive role in gene expression processes.

 

Amino acids become proteins when 50 or more are bonded together in a chain. All the millions of different proteins in living things are formed by the bonding of only 20 amino acids.

 

Eight of these amino acids are essential and cannot be produced by the body.

They are:

• Leucine

• Isoleucine

• Lysine

• Threonine

• Methionine

• Phenylalanine

• Valine

• Tryptophan

•  Histidine is an amino acid that is categorized as semi-essential since the human body doesn't always need it to properly function

 

Nonessential amino acids are produced by the human body either from essential amino acids or from normal protein breakdowns. Nonessential amino acids include:

• Asparagine

• Alanine

• Arginine

• Aspartic acid

• Cysteine

• Glutamic acid

• Glutamine

• Proline

• Glycine

• Tyrosine

• Serine.
