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.
How does yeast produce yeast carbon dioxide?
It creates it when it "eats" the sugars in the flour mixture
What are peast used for in the wine-making industry?
You probably mean yeast, not peast. Yeast is an organism which consumes sugars and as a byproduct creates alcohol(ethanol). So in wine making, the yeast converts the sugars in the grape juice into alcohol.
What conditions does yeast need to be in to survive?
As a living organism yeast needs sugars, water and warmth to stay alive.
Is flour eggs and yeast to bread a physical or chemical change?
Flour eggs is physical and yeast to bread chemical
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
What organisms use alchoholic fermentation?
Yeast and Bacteria. :)

Does beer have yeast in it?
The yeast is used in beer-making to ferment the sugars that are contained in the sweet liquid called wort or beer that isn't fermented yet. If no yeast was introduced to the wort, none of the sugars would ferment into alcohol. In short, it makes the alcohol. Ha ha Is that true? I dont believe it!
What is human fermentation?
Fermentation is a medical term used to describe the chemical breakdown of a substance. For example, in the human body, bacteria and yeast will breakdown with sugars.
Explain what happen in the fermentation process?
Basically, bacteria (usually called yeast) feed on sugars turning them into alcohol.
How does yeast produce yeast carbon dioxide?
It creates it when it "eats" the sugars in the flour mixture
Why is yeast important in alcoholic drinks?
In baking yeast is used typically as a leavening agent, meaning it causes the bread to rise. The yeast digests sugars from the bread dough and produces carbon dioxide, which raises the bread. In brewing, yeast serves two purposes: producing alcohol from the sugars in malt, and--in bottle or cask-conditioned beers--in carbonation. The yeast digests some of the sugars from the malt and produces alcohol and carbon dioxide (and various other molecules). During the fermentation process the carbon dioxide is the byproduct and is bled off to the atmosphere. For bottle-conditioned beers, the carbon dioxide from the yeast is forced into suspension in the liquid and causes the beer to be carbonated.
Why is yeast used to make beer and wine?
Yeast is used to produce the alcohol in beer and wine. Yeast is a fungus that feeds on sugars to create energy for itself. When the yeast is deprived of oxygen, as it is in the production of beer and wine, it uses a process called anaerobic respiration to create its energy. The byproducts of anaerobic respiration are ethanol (alcohol) and CO2. This production of alcohol via yeast is called fermentation. Yeast is used in the production of virtually all Alcoholic Beverages.
What is the job of yeast in beer brewing?
The yeast eats the fermentable sugars in the that are in the wort, the unfermented beer. When the yeast eats the sugars, it produces two things, alcohol and CO2. When this happens you have the carbonation that is in beer, along with the alcohol. Yeast + Glucose = Alcohol (Ethanol) + CO2
Yeast chemical formula?
Yeast are a large group of microorganisms, not chemical compounds.
What is Yeast formula?
Yeast does not have a chemical formula. It is a living organism, not a chemical compound.
