Which of the following statements about the fermentation experiment is true?
A. Glucose and galactose are STRUCTURAL isomers, and although yeast can respire glucose, it lacks the enzyme to convert galactose into glucose
B. Sodium fluoride acted as an inhibitor, because the sodium binds with magnesium, thus preventing it from acting as a cofactor for the enzyme
C. Both glucose and galactose can be respired by yeast, but galactose is respired much more slowly because its intermolecular bonds are stronger
D. We produced a lot of pure ethanol that we later consumed and received alcohol poisoning from
