A process that occurs in plants is represented by the equation below.
C6H12O6→2C2H5OH+2CO2+ Energy
(a) Name the process
(b) State the economic important of the process named in (a) above
Answers
Answer :-
Equation -
C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2 C₂H₅OH + 2 CO₂ + energy
In this equation, glucose is forming alcohol and carbon dioxide.
This is the reaction of anaerobic respiration that takes place in the yeast.
a) This process is called as fermentation.
Fermentation is the process of breakdownof complex orgainc molecules into simpler inorganic molecules, in absence of oxygen, by microorganisms.
b) This process is used for preparation of alcoholic beverages like wine, beer, whisky in the presence of yeast and in the absence of oxygen. It is also used for bread-making , fermenting maltes cereals amd fruit juice to produce ethanol.
