Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Besides alcohol, What is the product of alcoholic fermentation?
A
Glucose
B
Carbon dioxide
C
Oxygen
D
Pyruvic acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The by-products of this process of fermentation are alcohol, carbon dioxide, water and heat. The process of ethanol fermentation has been in use for millennia.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ethanol fermentation, also called alcoholic fermentation, is a biological process which converts sugars such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose into cellular energy, producing ethanol and carbon dioxide as by-products.

Detailed explanation-3: -Alcoholic fermentation produces ethanol, carbon dioxide, and NAD+. Lactic acid fermentation produces lactic acid (lactate) and NAD+.

Detailed explanation-4: -Alcoholic fermentation makes ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide from sugars. Yeast (single-celled eukaryotic organisms) perform alcoholic fermentation in the absence of oxygen. The products of alcoholic fermentation are ethyl alcohol (drinking alcohol) and carbon dioxide gas.

Detailed explanation-5: -Alcohol fermentation Going from pyruvate to ethanol is a two-step process. In the first step, a carboxyl group is removed from pyruvate and released in as carbon dioxide, producing a two-carbon molecule called acetaldehyde.
