Correct Answer - Option 2 : Conversion of sugar into alcohol

The correct answer is Conversion of sugar into alcohol.

  • Fermentation is the process by which molecules such as glucose are broken down anaerobically.
  • By the process of fermentation, the sugars are converted into alcohol.
  • The enzymes like pyruvic acid decarboxylase and alcohol dehydrogenase catalyze these reactions.
  • It normally occurs in yeast cells bacteria and in the muscles of animals.
  • It is a method of extracting energy from molecules.
  • Fermentation accounts for only a partial breakdown of glucose.
  • In fermentation, there is a net gain of only two molecules of ATP for each molecule of glucose degraded to pyruvic acid.
  • Wine and beer are produced by fermentation.
  • No ATP would be produced without fermentation.
