Answer to Question 1

glucose  pyruvic acid  acetaldehyde + carbon dioxide  alcohol (ethanol)

Answer to Question 2

Fermentation is the breakdown of carbohydrate materials by bacteria and yeasts under anaerobic (without atmospheric oxygen) conditions. It produces acids and alcohols, with some aldehydes, ketones, and flavorings. Products produced by fermentation help preserve foods against microbial degradation.
