Can the yeast used in cooking have different names when listed on the ingredients of the food label?

Yeast used in baking and brewing are a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It's not likely that a food label will list it that way. It may just say "yeast" or perhaps "brewers yeast" or "bakers yeast."

What is inactivated yeast?

It is sometimes called "dried yeast". It is yeast that has had all of it's moisture removed (so that it can be stored indefinitely), but becomes active again as soon as it is dissolved in water. It is sort of the opposite of "fresh yeast", but it still gives good results when used in baking. (To use it in cooking, you should always use half of the amount of yeast that's recommended for when using "fresh yeast", since dried yeast is twice as concentrated.)

Is yeast edible?

Short answer, Yes. Yeast is in lots of things most people eat every day. most breads are made with yeast, all beer, wine, and liquor are made by fermentation with yeast although most alcoholic beverages remove the yeast cells at some point in processing. Yeast lysates like vegemite and Marmite are popular foods in some parts of the world. There is a small market for nutritional yeast as a dietary supplement and ingredient for cooking. Yeast extract is also used in some prepared foods.

Can biology be used in cooking?

the only thing that comes to mind is yeast when you would make bread. yeast needs glucose (sugar) to "eat" and heat. yeast is activated at temperatures between 105 and 110 degrees Fahrenheit. any more than 110 will kill it. when the yeast undergoes alcoholic fermentation, it releases CO2, resulting in the air pockets when you slice the bread. hope this helps.
