Answer:

C6H12O6 → 2 C2H5OH + 2 CO

Step-by-step explanation:

Fermentation is the biochemical mechanism whereby, in the absence of oxygen or electron transport chain, organic molécules (normally glucose) can be converted into acid, gas and alcohol.

Ethanol Fermentation

GLUCOSE → 2 ETHANOL + 2 CARBON DIOXIDE

C6H12O6 → 2 C2H5OH + 2 CO2
