Question

The ability of the human body to catabolize the ethanol in alcoholic beverages depends on the presence of alcohol dehydrogenase in the liver.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because when alcohol is consumed, it is not digested rather it is transported to the part of the body. Alcohol is volatile and it is absorbed by the linings of organs in the body. This alcohol is toxic and only little amount is excreted by sweats, urine. Therefore the liver is the organ that is responsible for producing an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase which break down alcohol into ketones.
