Question

In alcoholic fermentation, NAD+ is produced during the

• A. reduction of acetyldehyde to ethanol
• B. oxidation of glucose
• C. oxidation of pyruvate to acetyl coA
• D. hydrolysis of ATP to ADP

Answer 1

The correct option is A reduction of acetyldehyde to ethanol

Alcoholic fermentation is a process in which molecules such as glucose are converted into cellular energy and thereby produce ethanol and carbon-dioxide as metabolic waste products. During alcoholic fermentation, NAD+ is produced when acetaldehyde is reduced to ethanol.
