Yeast will produce gas if sugar, water, and warmth are available as long as the yeast is still alive. If it is too old or has been too hot and the yeast has died it won't create the gas.
Yes, in the presence of sugar, yeast ferments releasing carbon dioxide (which makes the bubbles in bread dough).
No, combining yeast with sugar will not produce gas. Yeast must be dissolved in water with starch or sugar in order to begin fermentation producing CO2 gas.
Yeast can be killed with heat, that is why you use warm water to start it, not hot.
Yeast cannot produce their own foods. The yeast do not have chlorophyll. Yeast must rely on other ways and sources to get food. Yeast mostly feed on sugar.
yeast is a living organism and every living organism needs energy, and yeasts energy comes from sugar.when the yeast respires the sugar it will cause the yeast to give off co2.
Warm liquid and sugar.
Yeast eats the sugar in the syrup. It then poops out co2 and alcohol. The carbon is a byproduct that comes from the yeast after eating sugars.
If there is nothing to metabolize, which is what yeast are doing with sugar, then they will most likely not grow and not produce any CO2. With that said, there are many strains that can continue to grow and reproduce with other chemical sources, not all of which create CO2 as a bi-product. That is to say, that sugar is not the only thing they can "eat."
Carbon dioxide is the result of aerobic(oxygenated) respiration of yeast along with ethanol, as long as there is sugar and oxygen the yeast will produce CO2 but will cease if it is too hot/cold or if ethanol levels rise high enough to kill the yeast
Yeast turns sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide to produce energy (anaerobic respiration), it occurs just about wherever there is yeast and sugar.
No. Yeast cells need some type of sugar to digest and produce gas.
If both the yeast and the sugar are dry, then nothing. However, if you mix them together with warm water, the yeast will ferment the sugar and produce ethanol and carbon dioxide.
