Explanation:
! Answer: Yeasts break glucose down and produce alcohol and carbon dioxide as their by-products. In yeast fermentation of different foods and beverages, only two species of Atp is commonly used
Answer:
C. 'Alcohol, CO₂ and 2ATP'
Explanation:
Glucose is a carbohydrate made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
Fermentation is the process of oxidation of glucose. It is performed by many organisms like bacteria, yeast, etc.
The fermentation of glucose by yeast is called Alcoholic Fermentation.
It is performed in the absence of oxygen that is it is anaerobic respiration.
The two molecules of glucose are converted into 4 molecules of ethyl alcohol/ethanol along with 2 molecules of CO₂ and 2 molecules of ATP.
C₆H₁₂O₆→ 2C₂H₅OH + 2CO₂ + 2ATP
