In alcoholic fermentation, two molecules of glucose produce ethanol and CO2 respectively
Open in App
Solution
Alcoholic fermentation
Alcoholic fermentation is performed by the yeasts in the absence of oxygen during which carbon dioxide and alcohol is released.
One glucose molecules produces 2 pyruvate molecules after glycolysis. Each pyruvate molecule produces an ethanol molecule and a CO2 molecule.
Therefore, 2 molecules of glucose will produce 4 ethanol molecules and 4 CO2 molecules.
Final Answer:
(c) 4+4
