Yeast itself does not turn into gas. When Yeast "eats" sugars to live and to reproduce, it produces waste products like every other living organism. The primary wastes created are ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide. Under the normal conditions in which we live, carbon dioxide, or CO2, is a gas, and that is the gas that is released when yeast metabolizes sugars.
