Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C 4 molecules of ethanol + 4 molecules of CO2
Alcoholic fermentation is a process by which sugar is converted into ethyl alcohol and CO2 by some bacteria and yeast.
The following are the main steps :
- Glycolysis- During this process one molecule of glucose results in the formation of two molecules of pyruvic acid. Therefore, two molecules of glucose will result in the formation of four molecules of pyruvic acid.
- Alcoholic fermentation- During this process pyruvic acid loses a molecule of CO2 and gets converted into ethanol. Hence, during this process, these four molecules of pyruvic acid obtained from glycolysis, form four molecules of ethanol and release four molecules of CO2
