Answer 1

1 A - Resveratrol is a type of flavonoid found in red wine.

2 E - Alcohol dehydrogenase converts ethanol to acetaldehyde

3 B - The specific alcoholic substance found in beer, wine, and spirits is called ethanol

4 C - Toasting and drinking with friends and coworkers at a pub after work to celebrate a colleague's promotion would be considered an example of social drinking

5 F - blood alcohol concentration increases when alcohol consumption exceeds the rate of metabolism of the alcohol by the liver.

6 D - The alcohol in beer and wine comes from the fermentation of sugar by yeast.

7 G - Moderate consumption for females would consist of one standard drink daily.

Step-by-step explanation:

Resveratrol is a polyphenol that can be found mainly in grape seeds, black grape and red wine.

Alcohol dehydrogenases (ADH) are a set of enzymes that are part of alcohol metabolism in different organisms. It can be classified as oxirreductase which has nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) as its acceptor and its main function is, in liver cell cytosol, to oxidize ethanol to acetaldehyde which will be later oxidized to acetate by the enzyme acetaldehyde dehydrogenase .

Fermentation is the process that turns sugars into alcohol and CO2.
