Dumb, stupid
What is the conversion of pyruvic acid to carbon dioxide and ethanol called?
Alcohol fermentation is done by yeast and some kinds of bacteria. These microorganisms convert sugars in ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide. Alcoholic fermentation begins after glucose enters the cell. The glucose is broken down into pyruvic acid. This pyruvic acid is then converted to CO2, ethanol, and energy for the cell. Humans have long taken advantage of this process in making bread, beer, and wine. In these three product the same microorganism is used: the common yeast or Saccharomyces Cerevisae.http://www.tempeh.info/fermentation/alcohol-fermentation.php

Yeast is a fungus. It forms carbon dioxide and alcohol during fermentation.
Carbon Dioxide (C2O) and Alcohol are produced by yeast during fermentation.
no During fermentation glucose is converted into ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide by the enzyme Zymase. This zymase enzyme is released from yeast cells during fermentation. Therefore, the answer is yes.
The two processes, fermentation and glycolysis, use the same pathways to convert glucose to pyruvic acid (see related links). However, in yeast under anaerobic conditions, the alcohol fermentation process* differs by a single additional step, in which the pyruvic acid is converted to ethanol (ethyl alcohol). * This process differs from the fermentation that occurs within cells. Although the cellular process also uses the pyruvic acid from glycolisis, ethanol or lactic acid is commonly produced.
ALCHOLIC FERMENTATION:- It occurs in bacteria,yeast etc. In this type of anaerobic resipiration pyruvic acid is further broken down into alcohol. Lactic fermentation:- It occurs in skeletal muscles of humans and other animals during extreme physical activities (when oxygen supply is not sufficent) and in bacteria present in milk. In lactic acid fermentation pyruvic acid is converted to lactic acid.This process is involved in the production of yogurt.
Yeast fermentation is a digestive process that it used to perform growth and reproduction. Fermentation is a form of metabolism by yeast.
NADH + PYRUVATE (pyruvic acid) = ETHANOL(alcohol) + Co2 + NAD+
