Question

In the above diagrame what is $A,B$ and $C$ respectively?

• A. Liver, Ethyl alcohol, Acetaldehyde
• B. Ethyl alcohol, Acetaldehyde, Liver
• C. Ethyl alcohol, Liver, Acetaldehyde
• D. Liver, Acetaldehyde, Ethylalcohol

Answer 1

The correct option is A Liver, Ethyl alcohol, Acetaldehyde

• The alcohol after entering into the liver, it breaks down or metabolises in the presence of enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) which breaks down alcohol into acetaldehyde and then into acetate.
• Acetate is further metabolised, and eventually leaves the body as carbon dioxide and water.
  
• So, the correct answer is 'Liver, Ethyl alcohol, Acetaldehyde'.
