Answer 6

"The glucose is broken down into pyruvic acid. This pyruvic acid is then converted to CO2, ethanol, and energy for the cell."

"In alcoholic fermentation, pyruvic acid is broken down into ethanol and carbon dioxide."

Answer 7

I think the answer is D, but I'm not completely sure because I read this:

"Lactic acid from glycolysis produces a feeling of tiredness; the products of alcoholic fermentation have been used in baking and brewing for centuries."

Answer 8

why do you think it's C?

Answer 9

the reason i thought it was c because i remember somewhere hearing the alcoholic fermentation have something to do with muscle fatigue but after reading one of the links you sent me i think d woukd be a better option

sorry, I don't know why my message got deleted. I'll post it again.

Answer 11

actually, I definitely think it's D.

"Alcoholic fermentation, also referred to as ethanol fermentation, is a biological process in which molecules such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose are converted into cellular energy and thereby *produce ethanol* and carbon dioxide as metabolic waste products."

note when it says "produce ethanol"
