Using Alcohol

Question 9 • Fall 24 HS Physical Education

Which of the following BEST describes the relationship between alcohol and fermentation?

Answer

Fermentation refers to how quickly grains, fruits, and yeast break down into liquid substances, which can then be used to make alcohol.

Fermentation is a process that uses substances such as bacteria or yeast to change the sugars of fruits or grains into alcohol.

Fermentation is the process in which sugars are extracted from fruits, vegetables, or grains and then transformed into alcohol, using bacteria.

Fermentation is the process in which fruits and grains are mixed with an alcoholic beverage to produce a new flavor.

Explanation

Fermentation occurs when microorganisms, especially yeast, break down sugars and produce alcohol (along with other substances). Choice B best describes this process: bacteria or yeast change sugars in fruits or grains into alcohol. Fermentation is not simply the speed at which ingredients break down or the mixing of fruit with an existing alcoholic drink.
