In addition to ethanol (2-carbon alcohol), alcoholic fermentation forms ____
A
water
B
carbon dioxide
C
lactic acid
D
pyruvate
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The process of alcoholic fermentation converts one mole of glucose into 2 moles of ethanol and 2 moles of carbon dioxide, thus producing 2 moles of ATP in the process. The process of alcoholic fermentation is a complex process.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbon Dioxide is a gas produced by yeast during fermentation and creates the “fizz” or “condition” characteristic of beer. In the anaerobic fermentation process, yeast converts the sugars in the wort to, primarily, alcohol and CO2.

Detailed explanation-3: -Alcoholic fermentation converts one mole of glucose into two moles of ethanol and two moles of carbon dioxide, producing two moles of ATP in the process.

Detailed explanation-4: -In alcoholic fermentation, two molecules of glucose produce ethanol and CO2 respectively.
