Well Yeast eats, just like us. They eat sugar. Just like us they build up gas and release as what we call methane (aka commonly known as farting,medical term flatulence)

The sugar they eat builds gas up and releases it as Carbon Dioxide.

Is mixing carbon dioxide with yeast irreversible?

Mixing carbon dioxide with yeast to create fermentation is reversible in the sense that the process can be stopped and the components (yeast and carbon dioxide) can be separated. However, once the yeast consumes the sugars and produces the carbon dioxide, this chemical reaction cannot be undone to revert back to the original state.
