What would be the effect of ingesting 100% alcohol? I mean effects to the human body starting from time of absorption.
O.K..... You really want to know?Orally: You down two ounces of 200 proof ethanol. The alcohol strips the mucous lining from your esophagus and some of it absorbs into your blood directly. You feel... pain! You feel like you have just downed liquid fire! You cough and your eyes water. A lot. A few minutes later, you feel.... O.K..., but resolve to use orange juice the next time you want to try that experiment! About 20 minutes later you start to feel the effects of the alcohol because that is how long it takes to be absorbed. Two ounces of 200 proof is the equivalent of four ounces of 100 proof vodka. Your liver can remove about half an ounce per hour, so you will be sober in about 3 and a half more hours.Injection: Well, now! That is a good way to kill yourself. You see, in the above example, your stomach acted as a buffer, slowly metering the alcohol into your system. Injection (by the way, this technique is actually used to kill off nerve cells) bypasses the stomach and you are directly and immediately (within minutes) intoxicated. If you had actually injected three ounces you would have momentarily exceeded the lethal dose for alcohol, but some of it would absorb into your fat before it killed you (probably--I am not a physician or toxicologist, and I do not know how much you weigh, so don't bet your life on this answer). You would feel a significant burning sensation at the spot of injection. Consider that an understatement. Fortunately, in a few minutes you will be too drunk to remember the pain.Have I mentioned that either of these approaches falls in the category of a BAD IDEA? As in "Hey watch this!"
How is the cell theory important to biology?
The cell theory helps define life - all living things are made of cells, and the cell is the basic unit of structure and function of a living thing. The cell has all the processes of an organism in miniature ... digestion, respiration, reproduction. Cell theory basically states that all living things have cells. It's any old thing when people didn't have much technology. As cells are the basis of life, and biology is the study of life, the cell theory if the basis of biology the cell is the smallest unit down to which this phenomenon called life exists, if we don't understand the cell we cannot understand life, and if we cannot understand life then the biology we learn is not applicable to real life.Source - Online Biology Tutor
Why is bile not considered an enzyme?
Bile (bile salts) is required for emulsification of fats, which is necessary for fat digestion by enzyme lipase, but the bile cannot digest fats and, hence, it is not considered as enzyme.
What are fat molecules used for when the body can't get enough food?
energy, food, etc. what's the best answer? By the way this is for a 10th grade bio lab so no college-level words please! ;) The question is phrased: "Lipids are found in fat cells in our bodies. The fat cells store fat molecules to be used for ____________ if a person cannot get enough food." Answer quick, please!!
What are the final product of Carbohydrates proteins and fats after their digestion?
The end result of carbohydrates is glucose that is converted into energy or stored as glycogen. Protein is converted into amino acids which are the instructions that drive all tissue functions, amino acids tell cells what to do. Fats are converted into lipids that circulated in the blood stream and are essential to metabolic functions.
