When making Ethyl Alcohol by fermentation when does Methyl Alcohol become a possibility and how do you avoid it?
Methyl Alcohol is not a product of fermentation so no steps are required to avoid it. You are morelikey to get annoying levels of Ethyl Acetate which is solvent smelling and tasting. Methyl Alcohol can be found in trace amounts in wine and fruit brandies but this is due to the breakdown of pectin the the cell walls of the fruit and not fermentation. Its worth noting that the treatment for Methyl Alcohol poisoning is ingestion of Ethyl Alcohol. Both are prcessed by the same enzyme which much prefers to breakdown Ethyl Alcohol. Basically they keep you drunk until all the Methyl Alcohol has been sweated/breathed/urinated out of your system. Methyl Alcohol isn't actually poisonous, BUT its metbolised by your body into chemicals that are. Any product of fermentation containing Methyl Alcohol will contain more than enough Ethyl Alcohol to protect you from it. Anyone concerned about Methyl Alcohol ingestion should read up on Aspartame. The Diet Coke you drink may exposure you to more methanol than you realise.

What is the process of yeast reaction with sugar and how does it contribute to the fermentation of bread dough?
When yeast reacts with sugar in bread dough, it undergoes fermentation. During fermentation, yeast consumes sugar and releases carbon dioxide gas and alcohol. The carbon dioxide gas creates bubbles in the dough, causing it to rise and become light and fluffy. This process is essential for leavening the bread and giving it its airy texture.
Why stuck fermentation happen?
A stuck fermentation is where fermentation has stopped before all the sugar has been consumed. Yeast are organisms, and like most organisms they have an expected lifespan and they have nutritional requirements. You generally add less yeast to a fermentation than is required to complete the task on its own. Before fermentation starts the yeast rapidly reproduces itself so you end up with a much larger yeast colony. If what you are trying to ferment does not contain enough nutrition (i.e. oxygen, nitrogen, vitamins, sterols, UFAs) you will get a small, weak yeast colony that will all be dead before the sugar is completely consumed. Another factor is temperature. Most yeast has a quoted alcohol tolerance, but this is temperature dependant. Although fermentation speeds up as temperature increases, so does yeast mortality, and alcohol tolerance decreases.
What causes the DNA to precipitate and spool on the rod?
The alcohol used causes the precipitate to form due to a reaction allowing the hydrogen bonds between the nucleotides to form, which causes the DNA to become efficient packed and twisted together.
What can later become biomass?
Organic matter such as crop residues, food scraps, manure, and wood waste can later become biomass when processed through methods like anaerobic digestion, fermentation, or combustion. These materials are broken down by microorganisms or burned to generate energy in the form of biofuels, heat, or electricity.
Do Asians lack an enzyme to break down alcohol?
No. The above answer by Johnellishartford is incorrect. Alcohol tolerance certainly differs between different ethnic groups which can directly be related to ethnicity. Asians and native Americans are more likely to become alcoholics and are also much more likely to show an alcohol flush reaction as they often lack the genetically coded enzyme necessary to break down alcohol.
How did they become poisonous?
a small amount of ethanol [ C2H5OH] is added in drinks .......but when methyl alcohol i.e. CH3OH ....is added to it the drinks become poisonous .
What is unfermented wine?
Unfermented wine refers to grape juice that has not gone through the fermentation process to become alcoholic wine. It retains the sweetness and fruitiness of the grapes without converting the sugars into alcohol.
Are used to make bread and beer?
Yeast is makes beer ferment. It is a small bacteria that eats sugars. After it eats them it excretes alcohol and carbon dioxide, the gas that gives it the bubbles.
What does fermentation use?
You might need to be a bit more specific about what you're talking about... from a gr12 biology point of view, there's lactic acid and alcohol fermentation. Both kind of follow glycolysis - the breakdown of sugar... so it uses sugar (eg glucose) Basically after NAD+ is turned into NADH it needs to be regenerated, so the pyruvate (the end product of glycolysis) is transformed so that NADH can react with it to become NAD+ and so continue to generate energy.
Can ice cream become alcohol?
Not from eating it. If you mixed in yeast and let it sit, there would eventually be some fermentation and alcohol production, but you would not end up with ice cream liqueur. You'd have a really nasty mess involving sour milk.
What are fermentation products?
Sauerkraut is a fermented food product. It starts out as cabbage and after a while it will by fermentation become Sauerkraut.
Is fermentation a chemical change?
Fermenting cheese will become a chemical change not a physical change.
What is alcohol fermination?
Well, fermentation is the process of obtaining energy from food without oxygen. Most single-celled organisms such as bacteria and protists use fermentation, seeing as they live where there is no oxygen, like under the ocean or in mud. For this question, there are technically two answers, on account of there being two types of fermentation. The first type of fermentation is Alcoholic Fermentation. This type of fermentation occurs in yeast and other single celled organisms. This process is called alcoholic fermentation because alcohol is one of the producs produced. When the organism breaks down the suger of the food it eats, alcohol is produced, which is useful to bakers and brewers. The other type of fermentation is Lactic-Acid Fermentation. You have most likely felt it's effects many times. Think about a time when you ran for a very long time and as fast as you could. While running you are breathing quickly, because your cells need more energy for you to keep going. Eventually you get tired and have to stop, but no matter how hard you breathe, the muscle cells in your body used up oxygen faster then it could be replaced. Therefore, lactic-acid fermentation occured. The main product of this type of fermentation is lactic-acid, and when it builds up, you feel a painful sensation in your muscles, and they become weak and sore. Hope this helps!

Can you add sugar to your to your red raspberry wine mixture at any time during the 28 days of fermenting?
You can, but be aware that it may either re-start the fermentation or in some cases hang the fermentation. Generally, you'll increase the fermentation time by giving the yeast more food, and you'll end up with a wine having a higher alcohol content. If you keep adding sugar and allowing the yeast to keep working, the alcohol content will increase to the point where it will become "toxic" to the yeast. You'll have a strong, but not necessarily good, wine.
What is the example of spirit wine?
If you mean, what makes alcohol in wine? It's simple - sugar in grapes. During fermentation, sugar in the grapes turns into alcohol.
