yes although first the sucrose needs to be broken down into monosaccharides such as glucose this is done by an enzyme found in the yeast from here the zymase in the yeast can then breakdown the monosaccharides

Will letting water-sugar-yeast mixture ferment for long time affect the quantity of ethanol produced?
Letting a water, sugar, and yeast mixture ferment for a long time does not affect the quantity of ethanol produced.
Sugar and yeast?
There is no sugar in yeast because it is a living organism and living organisms don't need sugar.
Does yeast grow faster or slower with more sugar?
Yeast is a bacteria that feeds on sugar, which causes the fermentation process. In the process of wine making, grapes have yeast in the skin and sugar in the flesh of the fruit, the yeast then feeds on the sugar in the flesh fermenting the juice and making the wine.
How do yeast eat?
Yeast runs on the same basic food that humans do: Glucose. When yeast metabolizes glucose, it converts the sugar into energy and gives off carbon dioxide as a waste product, which is why it makes bread dough rise. While most yeast organisms require oxygen to do this, some species can metabolize glucose anaerobically and survive even in an environment devoid of oxygen.
What chemical substance do yeast consume?
Yeast uses sugar in respiration.Glucose is the primary substrate.This is oxidized during respiration
How does the sugar affect the growth of the yeast?
My guess would be that osmotic concentration of the sugar gets so great that the yeast is unable to get enough water for growth.
Does the amount of sugar affect fermentation?
Yes, because the yeast feeds on sugar. Fermentation cannot continue if there is not sugar as the yeast will not be able to convert it to alcohol and carbon dioxide.
What regulates the action of yeast?
Directly regulated by sugar and salt. Sugar cuases yeast growth, salt slows. Environmental factors such as moisture, heat and acidity also affect yeast growth.
Will letting water-sugar-yeast mixture ferment for long time affect the quantity of ethanol produced?
Letting a water, sugar, and yeast mixture ferment for a long time does not affect the quantity of ethanol produced.
What if you forgot to add sugar to yeast and water?
The yeast would eventually starve and die.
Does butter affect the size of cookies?
If you are talking about the volume then yes, the more sugar you add the higher the cookie will rise. The less sugar or instead no sugar at all, the cookie will look dull and flat and would have no taste at all. The cookie rises because of the yeast inside the dough of the cookie and yeast feeds on sugar so it expands.
Why are sugar crystal important?
Without sugar, yeast would not be able to rapidly reproduce, and we would have no bread, pastries, or Alcoholic Beverages.
Does yeast grow better in sugar water or salt water?
Yeast Grows much better in sugar water. They are micro organisms that need the sucrose in the sugar to activate and grow, without the sugar very little would happen. If you used salt water it would most likely kill the yeast.
How does sugar affect carbon dioxide realeased byyeast and warm water?
Yeast can use oxygen to release the energy from sugar (like you can) in the process called respiration. So, the more sugar there is, the more active the yeast will be and the faster its growth (up to a certain point - even yeast cannot grow in very strong sugar - such as honey).
Sugar and yeast?
There is no sugar in yeast because it is a living organism and living organisms don't need sugar.
If you put yeast and sugar in a flask without water what would you put in a flask for yeast to break down sugar?
Yes it can feed on sugar substitutes Yes it can feed on sugar substitutes Yes it can feed on sugar substitutes
What does sugar do to yeast?
Yeast will respire the sugar causing the yeast to give off Carbon Dioxide.
