The correct answer is Fermentation.
Key Points
- Fermentation:
- The biological process, in which sugar molecules are converted into ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide with the help of some microbes like yeast and bacteria is called alcohol fermentation.
- It is an anaerobic process. i.e. it occurs in the absence of oxygen.
- The process is governed by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase
- Alcoholic fermentation has many uses such as for the production of alcoholic beverages, ethanol fuel, and bread cooking.
Additional Information
- Moulding:
- Moulding is a typical process in which a type of fungus that grows surface of fruits and vegetable.
- These tubular branches have multiple, genetically identical nuclei, yet form a single organism, known as a colony.
- In contrast, yeast is a type of fungus that grows as a single cell.
- Nitrogen Fixation:
- Nitrogen fixation is the chemical process by which atmospheric nitrogen is assimilated into organic compounds, especially by certain microorganisms as part of the nitrogen cycle.
- Atmospheric nitrogen is fixed by several methods like biological N2 fixation, Industrial N2 fixation & Electrical N2 fixation.
- It is a necessary process, as the fixed nitrogen is used in the biosynthesis of several organic compounds like amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids, etc.
- Transcription:
- The process of copying genetic information from one strand of DNA into RNA is termed transcription or mRNA synthesis.
- The process of transcription begins when an enzyme called RNA polymerase attaches to the template DNA strand and begins to catalyze the production of complementary RNA.
- It is completed in three steps Initiation, Elongation & Termination.
