During fermentation, pyruvate is converted into carbon dioxide and G. In our muscle cells during vigorous exercise pyruvate is converted into H. In mitochondria, it is converted into carbon-dioxide and I. The fermentation process in yeast is also called J while that in mitochondria is referred to as K.

Identify G,H,I,J and K.
