Answer to Question #146143 in Cell Biology for Jayla

Question

What are the products of alcoholic fermentation?

Answer 1

The products of alcoholic fermentation are ethanol and carbon dioxide.

Explanation: Alcoholic fermentation is an anaerobic process that means it occurs in the absence of oxygen. It is observed in the yeast. The process starts with glycolysis in which glucose is converted into pyruvate. The pyruvate is then broken down into acetaldehyde (carbon dioxide is released), which later converts into ethanol.
