Final product of fermentation
- APyruvic acid
- BAcetaldehyde
- CEthyl alcohol
- DFormic acid
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (c) Ethyl alcohol
Explanation
In alcoholic fermentation, yeast enzymes turn sugar into ethyl alcohol (ethanol) and carbon dioxide:
C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2C₂H₅OH + 2CO₂
Pyruvic acid and acetaldehyde are steps on the way; ethanol is the final product.
