Yeast runs on the same basic food that humans do: Glucose. When yeast metabolizes glucose, it converts the sugar into energy and gives off carbon dioxide as a waste product, which is why it makes bread dough rise. While most yeast organisms require oxygen to do this, some species can metabolize glucose anaerobically and survive even in an environment devoid of oxygen.
