Yes - The enzymes in yeast react with sugar during the brewing process, to produce alcohol. The by-product of the reaction is carbon dioxide.

Why is yeast used to make beer and wine?
Yeast is used to produce the alcohol in beer and wine. Yeast is a fungus that feeds on sugars to create energy for itself. When the yeast is deprived of oxygen, as it is in the production of beer and wine, it uses a process called anaerobic respiration to create its energy. The byproducts of anaerobic respiration are ethanol (alcohol) and CO2. This production of alcohol via yeast is called fermentation. Yeast is used in the production of virtually all Alcoholic Beverages.
Which fungus makes bread rise?
Yeast, in bread-making, is fungi. So to answer the question fungi helps the bread rise baisically!
Which amendment outlawed the production and distribution of alcohol?
The 18th Amendment outlawed the production and distribution of alchol.
How many types of alchol are there in numbers?
# what types of alchol are used during these numbers? # How many people take alchol a year? # Does people realize,what alchol can do to there body?
What are the purposes of anaerobic fermentation?
Fermentation in which no oxygen is present. It is generally used by yeast for the production of beer and bread.
How are microbes used in the production of drinks?
Yeast is a microbe used in the production of both beer and wines. By consuming the sugars in the liquid (grains and water for beer, mashed grape juice for most wines) the yeast give off alcohol and carbon dioxide in the process called fermentation.
How is yeast used in food production?
The role of yeast in baking industry is vital. It facilitates in fermentation of the baking product viz. bread. The food item gets inflated by this fermentation process and deemed fit for human consumption.
What makes microorganisms beneficial?
the waste material of yeast used for fermentation of alcohol & wine & also for bear production
What make the smell that the cake gives off and what does yeast have to do with it?
One of the by products of baking things with yeast is that the yeast, along with making the cake or bread rise, makes alchol . . . just enough to smell good along with the natural baking aromas of the cake or bread.
The production of alcohol by yeast cells is the result of what?
Budding.
What is an Alchohol burner and how is it used?
An Alchol burner is a burner that uses alchol. A alchohol burner is a burner that burns alchohol.
What else does yeast make apart from bread?
Yeasts are eukaryotic micro-organisms classified in the kingdom fungi, with 1,500 species currently described, estimated to be only 1% of all fungal species. The useful physiological properties of yeast have lead to their use in the field of biotechnology. Fermentation of sugars by yeast is the oldest and largest application of this technology. Many types of yeast are used for making foods: baker's yeast in bread production, brewer's yeast in beer fermentation, yeast in wine making and for xylitol production. So called red rice yeast is actually a mold, monascus purpureus Yeast include some of the most widely used model organisms for genetics and cell biology.
