Question

Ase your answer to this question on the information below.during a bread-making process, glucose is converted to ethanol and carbon dioxide, causing the bread dough to rise. zymase, an enzyme produced by yeast, is a catalyst needed for this reaction.choose the correct structural formula for the alcohol formed in this reaction.

Answer 1

Formed alcohol, ethanol has a structural formula CH3−CH2−OH or it can also be written with chemical formula C2H5OH.
Ethanol is a simple alcohol produced via the fermentation of sugars (such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose) by yeasts. Because yeasts do this conversion in the absence of oxygen, fermentation is an anaerobic process.
