Acetaldehyde

Vedclass · Answer

(B) When alcohol (ethanol) is consumed,it is metabolized in the liver by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase. This process converts ethanol into acetaldehyde,which is a highly toxic substance and a known carcinogen. Acetaldehyde is subsequently broken down into acetate by the enzyme acetaldehyde dehydrogenase,which is then further metabolized into carbon dioxide and water.
