e
Janelle always feels more "tipsy" than her same-size boyfriend after they drink the same amount of alcohol. How would you explain this observation? a. Males have a higher activity level of liver acetaldehyde dehyrogenase so that alcohol is oxidized at a faster rate. b. Males have greater amounts of brain alcohol dehydrogenase so the brain neurons are less exposed to alcohol. c. Women have less liver alcohol dehydrogenase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase and thus more alcohol is released into the bloodstream. d. Males have greater amounts of kidney alcohol dehydrogenase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase and consequently excrete more alcohol waste products into the urine. e. Women have less stomach alcohol dehydrogenase and thus absorb more of the alcohol into the bloodstream.
