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 |
