Question

2. Alcoholic fermentation of glucose takes place

a) during production of wine from grapes
b) during production of sour milk from milk
c) during acidification of milk.
d) When pickling vegetables
write the equation of the corresponding reaction.​

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) during production of wine from grapes.

The equation for alcoholic fermentation of glucose is :

Glucose (C6H12O6) → 2 Ethanol (C2H5OH) + 2 Carbon Dioxide (CO2) + Energy

In the absence of oxygen, yeast or other microorganisms carry out this process. Wine is created during the wine-making process when yeast transforms the natural sugar found in grapes into ethanol and carbon dioxide.
