Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In yeast, the glucose breaks down anaerobically to produce alcohol as the end product and carbon dioxide gas as the byproduct.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ethanol is produced by alcoholic fermentation of the glucose in corn or other plants. This type of fermentation also explains why bread dough rises.
Detailed explanation-3: -during anaerobic respiration, yeasts produce alcohol. Glucose is broken down into ethanol and carbon dioxide with the release of energy. Lactic acid is produced in muscles when they respire anaerobically.
