Q. In alcohol fermentation,
A) There is no electron donor
B) Oxygen is the electron acceptor
C) Triose phosphate is the electron donor, while acetaldehyde is the electron acceptor
D) Triose phosphate is the electron donor, while pyruvic acid is the electron acceptor
Explanation
In alcoholic fermentation, 1.NADH (formed during conversion of triose-3phosphate to 3-phosphoglycerate) is oxidized to NA$D^{+}$ 2.Electrons are accepted by acetaldehyde formed by Decarboxylation of pyruvate.
