Carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide is the gas produced by yeast cells during fermentation that causes bread dough to rise through the process of leavening. This gas gets trapped in the dough, creating air pockets that expand and make the bread rise.
The gas produced by baking bread is called Ozone. It is a poisonous gas, if a lot is inhaled, but the little bit made when bread is baked is not harmful.
This type of cell respiration is called alcoholic fermentation, where glucose is partially oxidized to ethanol and carbon dioxide in the absence of oxygen. The carbon dioxide produced creates bubbles in the bread dough, causing it to rise during baking.
The gas, carbon dioxide, forms bubbles in the bread dough, making it "rise".

Carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide is the waste product of yeast respiration that is useful in making bread. The carbon dioxide gas produced causes the bread dough to rise, resulting in a lighter and fluffier texture.
The ingredient in bread that produces carbon dioxide is yeast.
Yeast
Air spaces form in bread during the baking process due to the release of carbon dioxide gas produced by yeast as it ferments sugars in the dough. This gas becomes trapped in the gluten structure of the dough, causing it to expand and creating pockets of air in the final bread product.
