IWhich of the following statements BEST describes how the body processes alcohol? A. After alcohol is metabolized in the kidneys, the liver transforms it into fuel for cells. B. After alcohol is metabolized in the bloodstream, it is burned as fuel for the cells. C. After alcohol is metabolized in the liver, it is burned as fuel for the cells. D. Alcohol is metabolized in the liver and then transformed into a cellular toxin.

The statement that best describes how body processes alcohol is alcohol is metabolized by the 'liver' and then it is transformed into a 'cellular toxin'.

Explanation:

Alcohol metabolism takes place in the liver by the enzyme called 'alcohol dehydrogenase' of ADH. ADH breaks down the alcohol into acetaldehyde. This 'acetaldehyde' is broken down by another enzyme called "aldehyde dehydrogenase" into acetate which breaks down into toxins that leave the body in the form of carbon dioxide and water.
