Presuming the yeast is viable, not dead, the yeast mixed with warm, not hot, sugar water will consume the sugar and will multiply. Mixed with dry sugar, nothing will happen.

In warm sugar water the yeast will multiply and continue to 'eat' the sugar until it is all consumed and as they do this they will give off 'waste products'. These waste products are principally alcohol and carbon dioxide, two necessities for making beer. When yeast is used with warm sugar water to make bread the carbon dioxide will cause the bread to 'rise' while the alcohol is driven off in the baking process.

Glycogen is a nonfermentable sugar for (most?) yeast, as far as I know

At least the yeast should have the enzyme: Glycogen Phosphorylase (extracellularely) at hand, to split of glucose from glycogen, but this enzym is only known in animal, not in plants or yeasts. Bacteria and fungi is unsure to me. So it is very unlikely that yeast can ferment this 'animal' carbohydrate.

When you mix sugar with yeast,it under goes fermentation when left for a very long time(which is caused by the micro organisms),it breaks down the large molecule(sugar) into smaller molecule e.g alcohol.But the reaction is slow i.e it takes days to ferment.

Fermentation .

*raw honey doesn't contain enough water to permit and yeast to live, the osmolarity of the sugar would dehydrate the cell imediately

How do different types of sugars affect the growth of yeast?

im doing a science project on this....... the information i have found so far is: -yeast is a fungus, it needs energy for growth. sugar supplies the energy yeast needs to grow, so when they mix, the yeast is able to rise. - yeast uses oxygen to release its energy (respiration). so the more sugar there is, the more active the yeast will be. sorry that's all i found for now. hope that helps hi im sir wade well my user is and i though i might want to try this site if that's not all the info u need its http://www-saps.plantsci.cam.ac.UK/records/rec358.htm


How is bacteria used in bread making?

Howdy there! You are not gonna believe this! Bacteria can be used in making bread and that particular kind of bread is called salt-rising bread. I had to check on Wikipedia just to make sure because I had a feeling that bacteria could be used in bread making. Hope this was the response you were looking for! 😄

What polysaccharide is stored in the liver when excess glucose is in the bloodstream?

Glucose has many fates in the human body depending on whether the body is in a fasted or fed state. It is important to note that glucose is the main and primary compound used by all cells to produce energy. Some cells, namely nervous tissue and mature red blood cells use ONLY glucose to provide energy. If a meal with excessive carbohydrates is consumed, after digestion the excess glucose is first converted into a storage carbohydrate called glycogen. Glycogen is stored in skeletal muscles and liver cells. In muscles it serves as a ready store of energy for muscle contractions and in liver cells it can be readily reconverted into glucose and used in periods of fasting (during sleep or between meals to provide and sustain energy). However, if there is excessive glucose in the body and the muscle and liver tissues have made its maximal amount of glycogen, the excess glucose is converted to FAT! Fat (namely triacylglycerol) is made of two compounds: fatty acids and glycerol - both which can be synthesized from glucose breakdown. NOTE: Fatty acids, a main component of triacylglycerol are made from a compound called acetyl CoA. Under normal circumstances glucose is converted to acetyl CoA, but it enters a pathway in cells called the Krebs Cycle where it is degraded to produce energy. However, when there is excessive glucose and the body has already made its fill of glycogen, glucose is broken down to acetyl coA in the liver where it goes to produce fatty acids and subsequently fat! Exactly how is this done? For the biochemists out there: Malonly CoA is the direct precursor for fatty acid synthesis. Acetyl coA is converted to malonly coA via the enzyme acetyl coA carboxylase - this is the committed step in fatty acid synthesis. This enzyme is activated by high amounts of citrate, a by product of the Krebs Cycle. So an excessive amounts of glucose after maxed out glycogen production = high acetyl coA + high citrate. High citrate activates acetyl coA carboxylase which commits acetyl coA to fat production via synthesis of malonyl coA.

The sugar in the juice feeds the yeast and it will proof or bloom. +++ It will do more than that. It will turn the juice into a very rough and probably unpalatable "wine", because the yeast would feed on the fruit sugar and produce carbon-dioxide and alcohol.
