Methylene blue is a solid, odorless, dark green powder at room temperature. In water this chemical compound turns into a blue solution. When methylene blue is reacted with yeast cells it inhibits the respiration which stops the cells from using hydrogen ions to release energy.

why?
the reason being that yeast is actually a living fungus type organism and when the methylene is put into a cell yeast creates a enzyme which is needed to break down the methylene. after it is broken down the cell will than turn colorless.

∙ 9y agoDyeing yeast cells with methylene blue can differentiate between cells that are dead and alive. Active enzymes in live cells will process the chemical while dead cells will become stained.

What is the name of the chemical reaction between yeast and glucose?
Technically speaking the yeast, which is a living organism rather than a chemical, does not react with the glucose. It metabolizes it by a process called fermentation.
Summarize the process of alcoholic fermentation in yeast?
Anaerobic respiration, namely alcoholic fermentation. This process is very similar to glycolysis, except for the fact that alcoholic fermentation replaces one enzyme with two enzymes that change pyruvic acid into ethanol and carbon dioxide.
What is the chemical action of yeast on sugars called?
Yeast act on sugars in the process of fermentation .
Is yeast a substrate?
Yeast is a living organism that causes fermentation in flour to produce CO2 and alcohol. The carbon dioxide is what causes the mixture to rise.
What is source of enzyme in fermentation reaction?
Yeast , bacteria and some microbes.
Yeast reaction with methylene blue?
yes,because yeast can undergo both ae reobic and anaerobic respiration.
Why methylene blue can act on only dead yeast cells but not on live yeast cells?
Active enzymes within living cells cause methylene blue to become colorless. Since dead yeast cells have inactive/denatured enzymes, the methylene blue stays blue.
When living yeast cell were place in methylene blue they became blue why did this happen?
When you added methylene blue to the living yeast cell, the methylene blue is actually a dye so you could see the cells, therefore, the yeast cell became blue. It is much the same with hair dye. If you have a bottle of blue hair dye, it will dye your hair blue.
Are yeast used in alchol production?
Yes - The enzymes in yeast react with sugar during the brewing process, to produce alcohol. The by-product of the reaction is carbon dioxide.
Methylene blue is used as an indicator in a yeast suspension does it affect the suspension?
http://www-saps.plantsci.cam.ac.UK/records/rec300.htm states that methylene blue indicates reducing and oxidising conditions by reacting to presence or absence of protons but is not involved in the reaction itself. This suggests that it wouldn't affect the suspension.However, I have previously read that methylene blue accepts protons during respiratory reactions, reducing the protons availble for energy release. This suggests that it would affect the suspension.I cannot remember where I read this second statement but I believe the source from which the first statement was taken is more reliable.Answerhttp://www-saps.plantsci.cam.ac.UK/records/rec300.htm states that methylene blue indicates reducing and oxidising conditions by reacting to presence or absence of protons but is not involved in the reaction itself.

Can you have an allergic reaction to yeast?
Yes, you most certainly can have an allergic reaction to yeast. Moreover, you may find (like me) that you react to both brewer's yeast and baker's yeast and all products containing yeast.
How is biotechnology needed to brew beer?
Well one way biotechnology is involved in the brewing process is through yeast. Yeast eats the sugars in the wort and expels carbon dioxide and alcohol!

Food science reaction?
Consider a yeast reaction maybe?
The rule of yeast in food process?
rule of yeast
Which organism is involved in bread?
Yeast
What is process in which yeast reacts with sugar?
the process in which the yeast reacts with the sugars in the food is Called: Fermentation
