Given below is the schematic representation of alcohol fermentation. Study the diagram and select the correct statements that follow:
I: Yeasts perform this metabolic conversion when growing in the absence of oxygen.
II: The metabolic conversion of pyruvate into acetaldeyhde is catalysed by the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase.
III: The metabolic conversion of acetaldehyde into ethanol is catalysed by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase.

Consider the given statements:

Statement I:  In alcohol fermentation in yeast, pyruvic acid decarboxylase and alcohol dehydrogenase convert pyruvic acid to carbon dioxide and ethanol.
Statement II:  In lactic acid fermentation, lactate dehydrogenase reduces pyruvic acid to lactic acid and carbon dioxide in muscle cells during exercise.
 
1. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
3. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
4. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
