Answer:
Alcoholic fermentation deals with the production of ethanol from pyruvate.
Step-by-step explanation:
During fermentation the end product of glycolysis known as pyruvate undergoes reduction to generate acetaldehyde by the catalytic activity of pyruvate decarboxylase enzyme which removes one carbon atom from pyruvate thus leading to the formation of acetaldehyde. In this reaction NAD+ is regenerated by the oxidation of NADH.
The acetaldehyde that is formed from pyruvate undergo further reduction to form ethanol by the activity of alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme.NAD+ is also regenerated in this reaction.
