The chemical reaction between yeast and glucose is called fermentation, specifically alcoholic fermentation. In this process, yeast breaks down glucose to produce ethanol (alcohol) and carbon dioxide as byproducts.
The fermentation of sugar by yeast produces ethyl alcohol as one of the principal products. This reaction involves the conversion of glucose to ethanol and carbon dioxide by yeast enzymes.
The reaction from sugar to ethanol is called fermentation. This process involves the conversion of sugars such as glucose into ethanol and carbon dioxide by yeast or bacteria in the absence of oxygen.
The source of enzymes in fermentation reactions are typically microorganisms like bacteria, yeast, or fungi. These organisms produce enzymes that facilitate the conversion of substrates into desired products during fermentation processes.
Oxygen is the reactant needed for cellular respiration that is absent from the fermentation reaction. In the absence of oxygen, some organisms, like yeast, undergo fermentation to produce energy in the form of ATP.

Yeast is a common microorganism that causes fermentation. Specifically, species of Saccharomyces yeast are often used in fermentation processes, such as brewing beer and making bread.
Feedstock is Glucose. Reaction is performed by yeast, specifically brewers yeast or sugar yeast. Product: ATP Energy, Carbon Dioxide, Water, NAD, alcohol
the sugar has power over fermentation. fermentation can not continue without sugar or yeast
In animals, fermentation produces lactate or lactic acid as a byproduct, while in yeast, fermentation produces ethanol and carbon dioxide. Lactic acid fermentation does not produce energy as efficiently as ethanol fermentation, which is why animals primarily rely on it during high-intensity exercise when oxygen is limited. Fermentation in animals occurs in muscle cells, while yeast fermentation takes place in yeast cells.
When yeast reacts with sugar in bread dough, it undergoes fermentation. During fermentation, yeast consumes sugar and releases carbon dioxide gas and alcohol. The carbon dioxide gas creates bubbles in the dough, causing it to rise and become light and fluffy. This process is essential for leavening the bread and giving it its airy texture.
