Which is the balanced equation for fermentation? (anaerobic respiration in yeast?)
|
|
C6H12O6
|
|
|
C6H12O6 + 6O6
|
|
|
C6H6O6 + O6
|
|
|
C6H12O6 + O6
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -C6H12O6 (aq)—-> 2C2H5OH (aq) + 2CO2(g) + 2ATP. You see the ATP at the end of the equation is the energy used to complete fermentation. In words, we say glucose produces ethanol and carbon dioxide.
Detailed explanation-2: -C6H12O6 ⟶ 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 + 2ATP.
Detailed explanation-3: -For anaerobic respiration in animals, the equation is: C6H12O6
