Yeast decomposes organic matter through a process called fermentation, where it breaks down sugars in the absence of oxygen. This anaerobic process converts sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide, releasing energy that the yeast uses for growth and reproduction. As yeast consumes the sugars, it contributes to the decomposition of the material, facilitating nutrient cycling in the ecosystem. Additionally, yeast can also decompose other organic compounds under aerobic conditions, further aiding in the breakdown of organic matter.

A good sixth grade science project?

Hydrogen peroxide, liquid soap and active yeast. The chemisty is to decompose hydrogen peroxide with the help of active yeast that is mixed in some warm water. When hydrogen peroxide is decompose, oxygen released is trapped in form of bubbles by the liquid soap. Hydrogen peroxides is available in any pharmacy store and it is just a fun project.

What is yeast and molds?

Yeast and molds are both types of fungi. Yeast are unicellular organisms that primarily reproduce by budding and are commonly used in baking and fermentation processes, such as beer and wine production. Molds, on the other hand, are multicellular fungi that grow in filamentous structures called hyphae and can decompose organic matter; they often appear as fuzzy patches on food. Both play significant roles in ecosystems, food production, and can also be involved in food spoilage.
