The production of ethanol from glucose is termed ________.
A)fermentation
B)glycolysis
C)gluconeogenesis
D)β-oxidation
E)dehydrogenation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process of converting glucose to ethanol is called fermentation, which is the production of ethanol by the action of yeasts or bacteria on carbohydrates or sugars. Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose to produce energy (ATP). Gluconeogenesis is the formation of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources. β-oxidation is the process of breaking down fatty acids to produce energy. Dehydrogenation is the removal of hydrogen atoms from a molecule.
