Base your answers to questions 73 through 75 on the information below and on your knowledge of chemistry.

Many breads arc made by adding yeast to dough, causing the dough to rise. Yeast is a type of microorganism that produces the catalyst zymase, which converts glucose, C6H12O6' to ethanol and carbon dioxide gas. The balanced equation for this reaction is shown below.

C6H12O6(aq)    2 C2H5OH(aq)  +  2 CO2(g)

73 Draw a structural formula for the ethanol formed during this reaction. [I]
