Answer 2

Sucrose is used as a substrate for alcohol fermentation.

• Sucrose or cane sugar is a widely used substrate for alcoholic fermentation.
• the common end products of this fermentation are ethanol, lactic acid, lactose, and hydrogen
• in this process, with the help of micro organisms like yeast, certain bacteria , sugars are converted to ethyl alcohol carbon dioxide.
• Reaction - C6H12O6 → 2 C2H5OH + 2 CO2

hence, the correct option is Sucrose.
