Anaerobic respiration equation is as follows:
C6H12O6 —> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2
This occurs in the presence of yeast, but it is the enzyme ADH produced by the yeast which is responsible for the final conversion to ethanol. Do I write both yeast and ADH above the reaction arrow, or just one? Furthermore, do I always have to add both the specific temperatures and pressures above a reaction?

Re: Representing reaction conditions
The enzyme comes from yeast. So the Enzym is enough to write. Physical conditions are helpful but not under all circumstances necessary.
