Question

Ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide are the end products of

A.
Krebs cycle
B.
Electron transport chain
C.
Alcoholic fermentation

Answer 1

Alcoholic fermentation

Step-by-step explanation:

Alcoholic fermentation is carried out by yeasts and some moulds. In the process glucose is broken down to two molecules of ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide. Only two molecules of ATP are formed when a molecule of glucose is broken through this pathway.

C6H12O6 → 2CO2 + 2C2H5OH + 210kJ

Answer 2

The correct option is C) Alcoholic fermentation

Step-by-step explanation:

A biochemical process by which sugars can be converted into carbon dioxide and ethanol are termed as alcoholic fermentation. This type of fermentation occurs in the absence of oxygen and hence is termed as anaerobic respiration. Yeast cells are the example of species in which the process of alcohol fermentation occurs. Alcohol fermentation is used for alcohol and ethanol fuel production in the industry.
