During anaerobic respiration in yeast, the process known as alcoholic fermentation occurs. The chemical reaction for alcoholic fermentation is as follows:
C6H12O6→2C2H5OH+2CO2
Explanation:
- Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) is the starting substrate.
- Ethanol (C₂H₅OH) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) are the end products.
In this process, glucose is broken down to produce ethanol and carbon dioxide in the absence of oxygen. This reaction allows yeast to generate ATP (energy) and is used in the production of alcoholic beverages and in baking.
