Yeast, a relative of fungus organisms, is typically purchased in a dormant state; think hybernation. It is revived by being mixed into the warm moist environment of bread dough. Awakened, it digests the available sugar, which it converts into carbon dioxide, water and ethanol. The bubbles of carbon dioxide gas give the dough the desired spongy airy texture. Salt is used to slow the yeast's digestion, keeping the process from racing out of control; the amount of salt, amount of sugar, and the temperature must all be correct in order for the yeast to provide the desired result.

How does the temperature of water affect the growth of yeast?
Yeast need warm temperatures in order to grow. The perfect temperature for yeast is about 110 degrees F. Yeast will not start to reproduce and rise without warm temperatures to activate it.
How is yeast used in beer?
yeast is used to activate the flavor in beer
What can you use to stop yeast from activating?
If you store yeast below a certain temperature (such as keeping it in the refrigerator or cooler), it will not reach the temperatures necessary to allow yeast to grow and metabolize (activate). So, simply keeping it cold is a good way to keep it from activating.
Are very hot liquids necessary to activate yeast?
Very hot liquids will kill off the yeast. Only use slightly warm water to activate the yeast.
What if yeast does not activate?
Might be old or the water is too cold to activate it or too hot and killed it.
Why you add glucose to activate yeast cell?
Yeast can use glucose as their primary energy source.
What happens when you mix warm honey yeast and powder sugar?
warm water - yeast needs warm water to become active. suger is the yeast's food .it gives the yeast the energy it needs to grow. cold water - the cold water kills the yeast (kind of) normal room temperature - the yeast just becomes in active and doesn't react
How does temperature affect reparation rate of yeast?
Yeast does different things based on temperature.
What temperature is correct to activate bread yeast?
Hot dogs pretty much use the same animal parts as spam does (all of the parts nobody really wants). It is a very undesirable group of meats that are processed in to an American favorite. If the people who like hot dogs actually saw what was put into it, they wouldn't want to eat it anymore.
Why does bread taste yeasty when using a yeast that you have to activate?
Typically this is because you have used too much yeast or let it sit too long.
Does hot water make yeast rise?
Warm, not hot, water will activate yeast causing them to produce carbon dioxide which causes breads to rise
What temperature does yeast start working?
The ideal temperature for yeast growth is 100 to 115 degrees F, but for leavening purposes, the ideal temperature is 80 to 95 degrees F. If the yeast grows too quickly, it will produce large bubble pockets in the bread. Yeast begins to die at 120 degrees F. So it's important to let your yeast dough rise in a spot where the temperature is stable. The cooler the temperature, the slower the yeast grows. It will grow in the refrigerator, but very slowly. I don't know the minimum temperature for it to grow.
