The yeast in the dough break down the sugar to produce energy and the byproducts carbon dioxide gas, which makes the dough rise, and ethanol. This process is called alcoholic fermentation, and is a type of anaerobic cellular respiration.

What purpose did sugar serve for the yeast?

In making bread - Bread dough contains yeast (a fungus), and sugar. When the dough is left in a warm place, the yeast cells feed on the sugar to obtain energy. Enzymes in the yeast catalyse the reaction, which is called fermentation: C6H12O6 (aq) ------> 2C2H5OH (aq) + 2CO2 (g) + energy in other words: Glucose ------> ethanol + carbon dioxide + energy


What converts sugar to a usable form of energy?

The process that converts sugar (glucose) into a usable form of energy in our body is called cellular respiration. Through a series of biochemical reactions, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP, which is the main form of energy used by cells for various cellular processes.
