yeast - faculative anaerobic (live without oxygen)
Glucose ---> Pyruvate: ATP and NADH produced
Pyruvate ---> Ethanal + CO2: requires Pyruvate decarboxylase
Ethanal ---> Ethanol: requires Ethanol dehydrogenase to oxidise NADH to NAD , which is then recycled
(Alcohol is a non competitive inhibitor for enzymes in yeast -> above 13% concentration and yeast dies)
