Alcohol Dehydrogenase Lab Report

205 Words1 Pages
When ethyl oxidizes in the liver, alcohol dehydrogenase (enzyme) loses electrons to produce acetaldehyde. A different enzyme known as 'aldehyde dehydrogenase' transforms the acetaldehyde alongside oxygen into an organic compound which is acetic acid.

Once ethanol alcohol oxidizes in the liver an enzyme known as alcohol dehydrogenase oxidizes in order to produce an organic compound called acetaldehyde and binds with oxygen into acetic acid.

Acetic acid is a transparent liquid with an intense scent. The chemical formula of it is C2H402.

Alcohol is ingested and oxidizes into the formation of two electrons and protons (4 total). The acid assists in the production of fatty acids which is shortened to CO2 and H20.

Alcohol slows down the rate
