Yeast converting sugar to alcohol in the absence of air.
A
pastuerization
B
fermentation
C
alcholism
D
biogenesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Some yeasts can ferment sugars to alcohol and carbon dioxide in the absence of air but require oxygen for growth. They produce ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide from simple sugars such as glucose and fructose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fermentation is the process of conversion of sugar into alcohol.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. This process is used to make common food and drinks. For example, alcoholic fermentation is used to bake bread.

Detailed explanation-4: -During fermentation, yeast cells convert cereal-derived sugars into ethanol and CO 2 . At the same time, hundreds of secondary metabolites that influence the aroma and taste of beer are produced. Variation in these metabolites across different yeast strains is what allows yeast to so uniquely influence beer flavor [9].
