Yes, in the presence of sugar, yeast ferments releasing carbon dioxide (which makes the bubbles in bread dough).

Do you expect yeast to produce gas when sugar is available?

Yeast will produce gas if sugar, water, and warmth are available as long as the yeast is still alive. If it is too old or has been too hot and the yeast has died it won't create the gas.


Is yeast produce a gas when sugar is Available?

No, combining yeast with sugar will not produce gas. Yeast must be dissolved in water with starch or sugar in order to begin fermentation producing CO2 gas.


Can yeast be altered so it cannot produce a gas when sugar is available?

Yeast can be killed with heat, that is why you use warm water to start it, not hot.


Why yeast can produce its own food?

Yeast cannot produce their own foods. The yeast do not have chlorophyll. Yeast must rely on other ways and sources to get food. Yeast mostly feed on sugar.


How can you use yeast as an indicator to see if theres sugar in a material?

You can use yeast as an indicator to test for sugar in a material by observing if the yeast produces carbon dioxide gas when exposed to the material. Yeast consumes sugar to produce carbon dioxide during fermentation. If the material contains sugar, the yeast will produce carbon dioxide, causing bubbling or foaming to occur.


Can yeast produce CO2 with out sugar?

yeast is a living organism and every living organism needs energy, and yeasts energy comes from sugar.when the yeast respires the sugar it will cause the yeast to give off co2.


What does dry yeast need to produce gas?

Warm liquid and sugar.


Why does cornmeal work with yeast to produce gas?

Yeast eats the sugar in the syrup. It then poops out co2 and alcohol. The carbon is a byproduct that comes from the yeast after eating sugars.


Can yeast produce a gas when no sugar or other food is available?

If there is nothing to metabolize, which is what yeast are doing with sugar, then they will most likely not grow and not produce any CO2. With that said, there are many strains that can continue to grow and reproduce with other chemical sources, not all of which create CO2 as a bi-product. That is to say, that sugar is not the only thing they can "eat."


What is the effect of yeast and sugar solution?

When yeast is added to a sugar solution, the yeast ferments the sugar to produce carbon dioxide gas and alcohol. This process is used in baking to make bread rise and in brewing to make alcohol.


Do yeast cells make their own food?

No. Yeast cells need some type of sugar to digest and produce gas.


What happens when you put a teaspoon of yeast in a test tube with a pinch of sugar and leave it for half an hour?

If both the yeast and the sugar are dry, then nothing. However, if you mix them together with warm water, the yeast will ferment the sugar and produce ethanol and carbon dioxide.
