The correct Answer is:
To identify a suitable name for the given biochemical process, let's break down the reaction step by step: ### Step 1: Identify the Reactants The reaction starts with the following reactants: - **C₆H₁₂O₆** (Glucose) - **2 ADP** (Adenosine diphosphate) - **2 Pi** (Inorganic phosphate) ### Step 2: Identify the Products The products of the reaction are: - **2 C₂H₅OH** (Ethanol) - **2 ATP** (Adenosine triphosphate) - **2 CO₂** (Carbon dioxide) ### Step 3: Analyze the Process This process involves the conversion of glucose into ethanol and carbon dioxide. It also produces ATP, which is a form of energy currency in cells. ### Step 4: Determine the Conditions The reaction occurs in the absence of oxygen, indicating that it is an anaerobic process. ### Step 5: Identify the Organism This type of fermentation is typically carried out by yeast, a type of fungus, which is known for its ability to perform alcoholic fermentation. ### Step 6: Name the Process Given the above analysis, the suitable name for this process is **Alcoholic Fermentation**. This process is characterized by the conversion of sugars (like glucose) into alcohol (ethanol) and carbon dioxide, primarily by yeast, under anaerobic conditions. ### Final Answer The suitable name for the process is **Alcoholic Fermentation**. ---
