Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organism performs alcoholic fermentation?
A
Mammals
B
Trees
C
Mushrooms
D
Yeast
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Alcoholic fermentation is carried out by yeasts and some other fungi and bacteria. The first step of the alcoholic fermentation pathway involves pyruvate, which is formed by yeast via the EMP pathway, while it is obtained through the ED pathway in the case of Zymomonas (bacteria).

Detailed explanation-2: -Alcoholic fermentation In this fermentation, yeast breaks pyruvate molecules (glycolysis output of glucose metabolism) into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Alcoholic fermentation produces beer and wine.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fermentation occurs in yeast cells, and a form of fermentation takes place in bacteria and in the muscle cells of animals. In yeast cells (the yeast used for baking bread and producing alcoholic beverages), glucose can be metabolized through cellular respiration as in other cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -This type of fermentation is carried out by the bacteria in yogurt, and by your own muscle cells. In alcoholic fermentation, pyruvic acid changes to alcohol and carbon dioxide. This type of fermentation is carried out by yeasts and some bacteria.
