Which of the following statements is NOT true about the two reactions of alcohol fermentation? Select the correct answer below: The first reaction is catalyzed by pyruvate decarboxylase, a cytoplasmic enzyme with a coenzyme of thiamine pyrophosphate. A carboxyl group is removed from pyruvic acid in the first reaction, releasing carbon dioxide as gas. The second reaction is catalyzed by alcohol dehydrogenase to oxidize (NADH) to (NAD+). The second reaction is catalyzed by alcohol dehydrogenase to oxidize acetaldehyde to ethanol.
