Fermentation of sugars to produce alcohol does require the presence of yeast, however, its not always necessary to add the yeast. For example, crushed grapes will start fermenting without addition of yeast because the skins contain natural wild yeast cells that will ferment. However, in order to make good wine, the grapes are usually sterilized and cultured yeasts developed especially for wine are added.

Why you add glucose to activate yeast cell?
Yeast can use glucose as their primary energy source.
What is an appropriate experiment on Yeast Fermentation?
Testing the effect of different sugars on yeast fermentation can be a very good experiment. You will need the following materials: 2 liter bottles, packets of dry active yeast, different sugars (like sucrose{table sugar}, fructose, substitution sweetener lactose{milk sugar},and dextrose balloons,and of course,water. Add the amount of water instructed on the yeast to every 2liter bottle. then measure the same amount of sugar for each bottle. place a balloon on the top of each bottle and let them sit for at least ten minutes. then measure the circumference of the balloons and compare. to make completely scientific do at least three times and average results. To further extend add salt to each sugar solution to see if it makes any difference. Hope I helped:)
Why is it necessary to add water to the staphylococcus but not the bacillus?

How can you use yeast as an indicator to see if theres sugar in a material?
it can be used becase if you add water you will see the yeast and the bubbling stuff you know
What will happen if you add sugar and yeast to dough?
when sugar and yeast is added to dough the dough literally comes up or blows itself a little big. That is why buns are so bulky
What happens with out yeast?
Yeast consumes sugar and expels gas. It is this gas that causes bread to rise. Yeast also consumes sugar and produces alcohol during fermentation. So, if you're trying to make wine and there is no yeast on the grapes, and you don't add any, there is no fermentation.
Do potatoes contain yeast?
No, potatoes definitely do not contain yeast. Yeast is a rising agent added to flour to help it rise - and that makes bread. But no, yeast is not made from potatoes and is a micro-organism, in fact a fungi, that's cultivated and is purchased in small packets which we then add to flour to make bread.
What is the proces that stops wine fermentation called?
In Spain, they added a little brandy to kill the yeast and stop the fermentation. Now the use of campden tablets or sulfuric dioxide will kill the yeast. If it becomes too dry, which is what will happen if you do not stop the fermentation, and you add sugar to make the taste better, it will keep fermenting until you stop the yeast. The yeast will keep going until all the sugar is digested by the yeast and leaves alcohol as the by product. So, by adding alcohol to your fermentation before it is finished fermenting will raise the alcohol level high enough to effectively kill off the yeast at the desired taste level. I don't drink, but I was taught how to do this.
How do you make a root bear float alcoholic drink...?
add 1/4 of a teaspoon of yeast to the root bear and let it sit for about 2 days. add 1/4 of a teaspoon of yeast to the root bear and let it sit for about 2 days.
What is wine?
Wine is fermented grape juice. Add yeast to grape juice and the yeast ferments the natural sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide.
Can you add sugar to your to your red raspberry wine mixture at any time during the 28 days of fermenting?
You can, but be aware that it may either re-start the fermentation or in some cases hang the fermentation. Generally, you'll increase the fermentation time by giving the yeast more food, and you'll end up with a wine having a higher alcohol content. If you keep adding sugar and allowing the yeast to keep working, the alcohol content will increase to the point where it will become "toxic" to the yeast. You'll have a strong, but not necessarily good, wine.
What is fermentation and under what conditions does it occur?
Fermentation can occur anywhere given that three conditions are met. #1...yeast must be present. #2.... Sugars are food for the yeast to live on and therefore must be present. #3.... The right conditions by which the yeast is confortable, like the right temperatures.....there you have it.
What is a correct prefix to add to alcoholic?
A correct prefix to add to "alcoholic" could be "non-," changing it to "non-alcoholic," which means without alcohol.
When do you add the campden tablets?
you can add it to your juice prior to primary fermentation to kill off any unwanted bacteria and wild yeasts. wait 24 hrs before you pitch your preferred yeast, or else you'll kill it, too.
Why stuck fermentation happen?
A stuck fermentation is where fermentation has stopped before all the sugar has been consumed. Yeast are organisms, and like most organisms they have an expected lifespan and they have nutritional requirements. You generally add less yeast to a fermentation than is required to complete the task on its own. Before fermentation starts the yeast rapidly reproduces itself so you end up with a much larger yeast colony. If what you are trying to ferment does not contain enough nutrition (i.e. oxygen, nitrogen, vitamins, sterols, UFAs) you will get a small, weak yeast colony that will all be dead before the sugar is completely consumed. Another factor is temperature. Most yeast has a quoted alcohol tolerance, but this is temperature dependant. Although fermentation speeds up as temperature increases, so does yeast mortality, and alcohol tolerance decreases.
Do you need to add yeast to bread-making machines?
Yes, you will need to add yeast to a bread making machine. Be sure and keep the yeast away from liquids and salt.The yeast will be the last ingredient you add.
