[[File:Ethanol fermentation-1.svg|thumb|upright=1.5|(1) A glucose molecule is broken down via glycolysis, yielding two pyruvate molecules. The energy released by this exothermic reactions is used to phosphorylate two ADP molecules, yielding two ATP molecules, and to reduce two molecules of NAD+ to NADH. (2) The two pyruvate molecules are broken down, yielding two acetaldehyde molecule and giving off two molecules of carbon dioxide. (3) The two molecules of NADH reduce the two acetaldehyde molecules to two molecules of ethanol; this converts NADH back into NAD+.]] |
