Why sugar is important to the growth of yeast?

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.
