Answer 2

Answer:

The right answer is Pyruvic acid.

Explanation:

• The odd one from the following is Pyruvic acid.
• Pyruvic acid is not produced by fermentation.
• Whereas, alcohol, vinegar and lactic acid, all are made by the process of fermentation.
• Fermentation is a metabolic process that causes chemical changes in organic substrates by the action of enzymes.
• Alcohol is made by fermentation in which yeast converts the sugar in grains to form alcohol.
• A two- step fermentation process is required for the formation of vinegar.
• Lactic acid is also formed by fermentation process, in which the microorganisms make use of carbohydrates to form lactic acid.
• Whereas, pyruvic acid is formed by the process of glycolysis, in which the glucose molecule gets converted to pyruvic acid.
• Therefore, the odd one is Pyruvic acid.
