Why sugar is important to the growth of yeast?

Answer 1

This is actually not a chemical reaction. Yeast are living organisms and they use sugar as an energy source, so if you put yeast and sugar together the yeast will consume the sugar and give off carbon dioxide. This is why breads made with yeast rise and have small holes in the bread after it is baked - the holes are where small bubbles of carbon dioxide were trapped.

Answer 2

if you are using two powders i really don't know but if you take yeast and sugar and water boil till disolved and add to fruit in an air tight spot you will make wine because yeast breaks down sugar into alchol by fermenting

Answer 3

Well because when yeast and sugar are combined in water the yeast begins to digest the sugar and it then excretes alcohol and the byproduct of the process is Co2 when mixed with flour the flour traps the Co2 in the form of tiny bubbles and in turn gives you light airy bread when baked

Answer 4

It is necessary for the growth of yeast because it makes it grow faster and be stronger

Answer 5

Yeast is a living organism that metabolizes sugar to get energy.

In this case it ferments the sugar. A form of anaerobic respiration.

Answer 6

yeast reacts to sugar ( yeast+sugar= More Yeast & ethanol )

Answer 7

It is sugar that the yeast consumes in order to make energy to survive and reproduce. Yeast needs sugar for exactly the same reason that humans need food.

Answer 8

To supply the yeast with engery
