In which processes, anaerobic and aerobic respiraton, is ethanol produced? What evidence do you have to indicate this?

Question

Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ Ethanol is produced in anaerobic respiration. ⚹ ∻Solution∻ ‖ a ⋮ Anaerobic respiration: In the absence of oxygen, certain organisms, such as yeast, undergo anaerobic respiration (fermentation) to produce ethanol and carbon dioxide. The chemical equation for this process is: $$ C_6H_{12}O_6 \rightarrow 2 C_2H_5OH + 2 CO_2 $$ ‖‖ b ⋮ Aerobic respiration: In the presence of oxygen, cells undergo aerobic respiration, which involves the complete oxidation of glucose to produce carbon dioxide, water, and a large amount of ATP. Ethanol is not produced in this process. The chemical equation for aerobic respiration is: $$ C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6 O_2 \rightarrow 6 CO_2 + 6 H_2O + \text{ATP} $$ ‖ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ Ethanol production occurs during anaerobic respiration (fermentation). ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ In anaerobic respiration, organisms like yeast convert glucose into ethanol and carbon dioxide in the absence of oxygen. In contrast, aerobic respiration fully oxidizes glucose into carbon dioxide and water, without producing ethanol. ⚹◊What role does yeast play in the production of ethanol during anaerobic res⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
