Effect of alcohol on body

-
Hey there today I was just thinking that actually what happens when a person drinks alcohol.
So, let’s get started…
When a person drinks alcohol it is first absorbed in our oesophagus after which it is completely absorbed in small intestine where it is acted upon by enzymes of liver. Basically, alcohol is digested by two enzymes “alcohol dehydrase” then by “aldehyde dehydrase”
1    1.)    Alcohol dehydrase digests alcohol by taking out water molecule out of it and converting it into formaldehyde.
2     2.)    Aldehyde dehydrase also takes out water from formaldehyde and breaks formaldehyde into small carbon units which combines to form sugar and free radicals.
These free radical formation is slow process but these free radicals are only responsible for the unusual behaviour by a drunk person, and hence it is calculated a normal person can handle 5 glasses of alcohol in an hour.

Since aldehyde breakdown is slow process effects of over drinking become visible a while later.
Extra Aldehyde formed by breaking up of alcohol is harmful to liver as it coagulates fluids in liver and thus over drinking is not advised. Formaldehyde formed is a preservative and is used to preserve lab specimens and fishes in packed fish- tin.
Alcohols are present in our day to day foods but in limited quantity which is not harmful to anyone.
This way alcohols harms you.

Effect of music on human brain!

-
From early beginnings in the womb until the late stages of adulthood, music plays an important role in human growth, development, and sustainment.  Music— to be defined here as organized sound— is an essential component of most cultures, coloring the world through melodies, harmonies, rhythm, and lyrics.  Humans use music as a form of emotional expression, as well as a group bonding activity through participation in orchestras, bands, and casual gatherings.  Most recently, psychological researchers have been interested to find that music has another, potentially even more important function: it can improve brain development.  In several experiments conducted regarding this phenomenon, statistics show that children who play instruments and possess the ability to read music tend to score higher on achievement tests (Costa-Giomi, 1999).  Also, brains of adult musicians are significantly different in structure and function than those of non-musicians (Schlaug, Nor...

Capacitors and Dielectrics

Capacitance Capacitance is the measure of an object’s ability to store electric charge. Key Points The unit of capacitance is known as the farad (F), which can be equated to many quotients of units, including JV -2 , WsV -2 , CV -1 , and C 2 J -1 . Capacitance (C) can be calculated as a function of charge an object can store (q) and potential difference (V) between the two plates:  C = q V C = q V  Q depends on the surface area of the conductor plates, while V depends on the distance between the plates and the permittivity of the dielectric between them. In storing charge, capacitors also store potential energy, which is equal to the work (W) required to charge them. For a capacitor with plates holding charges of +q and -q, this can be calculated:  W stored = CV 2 2 W stored = CV 2 2 . The above can be equated with the work required to charge the capacitor. Key Terms dielectric : An electrically insulating or nonconducting material considered for its electr...
