Question 8

what does the fermentaion of pyruvic acid produce?

Answer 8

ethanol found in alcoholic beverages.

Question 9

carboxyl group

Answer 9

is removed from pyruvic acid, releasing carbon dioxide as a gas. The loss of carbon dioxide reduces the size of the molecule by one carbon, producing acetaldehyde.
