The process described in the statement "Two pyruvate molecules are converted to two ethyl alcohol molecules and two carbon dioxide molecules. In the process, two NADPH molecules are converted to two NAD+ molecules" is Fermentation.
Fermentation is a metabolic process that occurs in the absence of oxygen. In this particular case, it refers to alcoholic fermentation, where pyruvate (a product of glycolysis) is converted to ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide. Additionally, NADPH molecules are converted to NAD+ during this process.
