Test: Biochemistry

1.

Why does consuming alcohol (ethanol) promote storage of fatty acids in the form of triglycerides (fatty tissue), especially in the liver?

The free radicals produced in this process directly inhibit enzymes which oxidize fatty acids

The  produced from ethanol oxidation to acetaldehyde inhibits fatty acid oxidation, causing them to be stored as triglycerides

The acetaldehyde produced from ethanol directly inhibits enzymes which oxidize fatty acids

The  produced from ethanol oxidation to acetaldehyde inhibits fatty acid oxidation, causing them to be stored as triglycerides

Ethanol directly inhibits the enzymes which oxidize fatty acids by binding to their active sites
