Alcoholic fermentation is done by yeast and some bacteria. These organisms convert sugars into ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide. It begins after glucose enters the cell. The glucose is broken down into a puryvate acid. The acid is converted to CO2, ethanol, and energy for cells.

Alcoholic Fermentation is a process in which some sugars, like glucose, are converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide by the action of variousyeasts, molds, or bacteria on carbohydrate materials, such as dough or sugar solutions. Some of which do not themselves undergo fermentation but can be hydrolyzed into fermentable substances, the production of alcohol and alcoholic beverages.

Alcohol fermentation is where organisms convert sugar into alcohol and also carbon dioxide. It happens when glucose enters the cell and its broken down into pyruvate acid. Its used in yeast and bacteria.

Alcoholic fermentation is a process were sugars such as glucose is converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide. this is done by differnt using differnt types of yeast, molds, bacteria or carbohydrate materials. In this process, NAD+ is recycled and glycoloysis can continue to produce ATP.

Alcoholic fermentation is a process when some sugars are converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide with the action of yeasts, molds or bacteria. It is used to produce ATP.

Alcoholic fermentation is a process in which glucose is converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide from various yeasts, molds, or bacteria. It is used to break down glucose in pyruvate acids. It is then converted to ATP which is used as energy for cells.

In alcoholic fermentation organisms convert sugars into ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide. It starts when glucose enters the cell. It breaks down the glucose into a pyruvic acid. The acid is changed to carbon dioxide ethanol and energy.

It when sugars in a process are broken down by bacteria and yeast. It is used in alot of different places like when you want to make alchohol from hops, which is a type of sugar.
