Since yeast will only have a reaction when it is able to break down an enzyme nothing will happen when it is added to lactose. Lactose does not contain the proper enzymes or glucose to cause a reaction.

Do yeast equally utilize all sugars?

Yeast cannot utilize all of the sugars equally well. While glucose, sucrose, and fructose all can be metabolized by yeast, lactose is not utilized at all. Yeast may not have the proper enzymes to either transport lactose across its cell membrane, or it may not have the enzyme needed to convert it from a disaccharide to a monosaccharide.
