Question

Fermentation is represented by the equation

• A. C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + 673 k cal
• B. C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2C₂H₅OH + 2CO₂ + 18 k cal
• C. $6CO_{2} + 12H_{2}O\underset{Chlorophyll}{\overset{\quad Light\quad}{\rightarrow}}C_{6}H_{12}O_{6} + 6H_{2}O + 6O_{2}$
• D. 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆ H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Answer 1
