Investigation I
Investigation of Sober and Intoxicated Mouse Behavior
You observed the physiological effects of alcohol on mouse behavior by:
- Generating a descriptive model of a sober mouse behavior in a high risk situation;
- Differentiating sober mouse and intoxicated mouse behavior in a high risk situation; and
- Collecting evidence from observations of an experimental model of mouse behavior in a high risk situation using qualitative and quantitative data

Investigation 2:
Alcohol Dehydrogenase Assay
In this lesson, you learned about the breakdown of alcohol in the body and how enzymes work to perform this process.
You:
- Made predictions on how alcohol is broken down.
- Obtained absorbance values from your alcohol dehydrogenase assay.
- Found out that alcohol dehydrogenase cannot always keep up with increases in alcohol concentration, causing alcohol to accumulate in the system.
