Based on the given process, identify the correct match for A, B, C and D from the following options.
Options
- AA B C D PGAL PEP C 2 H 5 OH Lactic acid
- BA B C D PGAL PEP Lactic acid C 2 H 5 OH
- CA B C D G-6-P 2-PGA C 2 H 5 OH Lactic acid
- DA B C D PEP F-6-P Lactic acid C 2 H 5 OH
Correct answer
B. A B C D PGAL PEP Lactic acid C 2 H 5 OH
Step-by-step solution
The chemical equation below summarizes the fermentation of glucose, whose chemical formula is C 6 H 12 O 6 . One glucose molecule is converted into two ethanol molecules and two carbon dioxide molecules: C 6 H 12 O 6 → 2 C 2 H 5 OH + 2 CO 2 C 2 H 5 OH is the chemical formula for ethanol. Before fermentation takes place, one glucose molecule is broken down into two pyruvate molecules. This is known as glycolysis. Later, lactic acid fermentation takes place.
