Depending on culture conditions, glucose can be catabolized by yeast to produce ethanol and carbon dioxide, or can be diverted into other biosynthetic reactions. An inoculum of yeast is added to a solution containing 18 g/L glucose. After some time, only 3.5 g/L glucose remains while the concentration of ethanol is 6 g/L. CGH1206→2C2H,0+2CO2 Determine: a) The fractional conversion of glucose to ethanol (remember that fractional conversion values go from 0 to 1 and some glucose is diverted into other reactions) b) The fractional conversion of glucose, considering all the glucose that was consumed, not only the glucose converted to ethanol c) The yield of ethanol from glucose in gram/gram
