What type of fermentation is represented by the reaction: C6H12O6 + Yeast → 2 C2H5OH + 2 CO2?

Show Answers

Fermentation producing lactic acidFermentation resulting in acetic acidFermentation generating ethanol and carbon dioxideAll fermentation types mentioned aboveNone of the above

Explanation

The reaction shows glucose being converted by yeast into ethanol (C2H5OH) and carbon dioxide (CO2), which is characteristic of alcoholic fermentation. This process differs from lactic acid fermentation and acetic acid fermentation, making option C the correct choice.
