How can yeast cells can be considered single-celled organisms when they are still connected together?

Yeast cells are considered single-celled organisms because each cell functions independently and contains its own nucleus and organelles. While they may form clusters or chains due to budding or other mechanisms of reproduction, each yeast cell operates as an individual unit with its own ability to carry out essential life processes.


Do yeast cells move by themselves?

Yeast are simple fungi. The term "yeast" refers more to a life-style than to a phylogenetic classification. Yeast cells don't really move on their own, but they do multiply by budding. That is why bread needs to be kneaded. It helps spread the yeast cells throughout the whole loaf. Yeast cells don't have to be motile to contact each other. They move passively by means of "currents" in the water caused by temperature differences and random thermal motion (diffusion).


How would you differentiate between oral streptococci yeast and spirochaetes in your sample?

To differentiate between oral streptococci, yeast, and spirochaetes in a sample, you can use appropriate staining techniques such as Gram stain or special stains like periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) stain for yeast. Additionally, you can utilize microscopy to observe the morphology and arrangement of the microorganisms. Each group will have distinct characteristics - streptococci appear as gram-positive cocci, yeast as larger round cells, and spirochaetes as spiral-shaped bacteria.

How can you prevent urinary tract infections and yeast infections?

Generally, if you practice good vagina health--clean underwear with a cotton, breathable crotch, showers rather than baths, no use of douches or perfumed hygiene sprays--yeast infections don't happen or are a rarity. If you have one, visit your doctor for a prescription to clear it for once and for all. If you are sexually active, make sure that your partner is not the one passing on the infection to you--ask him to wash up before getting down to business.


Can medication cause thrush?

Good question, but not usually. The common medicines that can cause yeast infections are antibiotics. Your vagina has a very tempermental pH balance of good bacteria and yeast. Both are there all the time, the yeast grows and the good bacteria eats it. They naturally maintain a healthy level of each. However, when you take antibiotics, this medicine kills off any kind of bacteria, even the good kind living in your vagina. Now, this is good because it will kill the infection for which it was prescribed, but will also kill off good bacteria- leaving nothing to balance out the yeast. The yeast builds up and causes a yeast infection. Pain killers shouldn't disrupt the balance of yeast and good bacteria so you should be safe.

Can a man get a yeast infection from a girl?

Yes boys and girls both can infect each other with yeast infections. If he had intercourse with a girl when she had the yeast infection and she got medication while he didn't, if he had sex with her or another girl, he is bound to infect her since he carries the bacteria within his body. Unless he gets treatment, she will keep being reinfected by him from time to time.

What are the different types of yeast used in baking and how do they differ from each other?

There are two main types of yeast used in baking: active dry yeast and instant yeast. Active dry yeast needs to be dissolved in water before using, while instant yeast can be mixed directly into the dough. Instant yeast is faster acting than active dry yeast, so it requires less time for the dough to rise.
