Answer:
Explanation:
Alcohol dehydrogenase(ADH) is a cystolic enzyme which is mainly found in liver,catalyze the break down of alcohol to aldehyde. This binding of alcohol to alcohol dehydrogenase releases electrons which is accepted by NAD+ to form NADH. The aldehyde that is formed is further oxidized to an acid by alcohol dehydrogenase 2.
Oxidation of ethanol by alcohol dehydrogenase will produce acetaldehyde, and NAD+ will be reduced to NADH in the process. This acetaldehyde is a toxic compound so it will be further oxidized to acetate by alcohol dehydrogenase 2 enzyme.
Formaldehyde can be reduced back to methanol in the presence of NADH by alcohol dehydrogenase.
