CYP2E1 has a much higher Km for ethanol than ADH (11 mM versus 0.05 mM, respectively). When greater portions of ethanol are ingested (0.08% or 17 mM), which part of the statement would be true?

Question

CYP2E1 has a much higher Km for ethanol than ADH (11 mM versus 0.05 mM,
respectively). When greater portions of ethanol are ingested (0.08% or 17 mM), which part of the statement would be true?

Excess alcohol consumption increases the NADH:NAD* ratio in the cytosol of hepatocytes.
The main location of ethanol metabolism in the body is the liver and the main route of
detoxification includes liver alcohol dehydrogenases (ADH) located in the cytosol and aldehyde
dehydrogenases (ALDH) located in the mitochondrion. Together these sequentially convert
ethanol into acetate. A second (more minor) route of detoxification includes the microsomal
ethanol oxidizing system (MEOS).
