Explanation:

Acetic acid (CH3COOH), also called ethanoic acid, the most important of the carboxylic acids. A dilute (approximately 5 percent by volume) solution of acetic acid produced by fermentation and oxidation of natural carbohydrates is called vinegar; a salt, ester, or acylal of acetic acid is called acetate.......

acid

  • Acid, any substance that in water solution tastes sour, changes the colour of certain indicators (e.g., reddens blue litmus paper), reacts with some metals (e.g., iron) to liberate hydrogen, reacts with bases to form salts, and promotes certain chemical reactions (acid catalysis).

Acetic

  • Acetic Acid is a synthetic carboxylic acid with antibacterial and antifungal properties. Although its mechanism of action is not fully known, undissociated acetic acid may enhance lipid solubility allowing increased fatty acid accumulation on the cell membrane or in other cell wall structures. Acetic acid, as a weak acid, can inhibit carbohydrate metabolism resulting in subsequent death of the organism.

NCI Thesaurus (NCIt)

  • Acetic acid, also known as glacial or E260, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboxylic acids. Carboxylic acids are compounds containing a carboxylic acid group with the formula -C(=O)OH. Acetic acid is a drug which is used to treat infections in the ear canal. Acetic acid exists as a liquid, soluble (in water), and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Acetic acid has been found in human liver and kidney tissues, and has also been detected in most biofluids, including feces, urine, breast milk, and saliva. Within the cell, acetic acid is primarily located in the cytoplasm, mitochondria and golgi. Acetic acid exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. Acetic acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, Glucosamine 6-phosphate and acetic acid can be biosynthesized from N-acetyl-D
