Yeast needs water, food (in the form of sugar) and heat to grow. It does not need oxygen and can grow quite well under anaerobic conditions. The presence of oxygen during fermentation can actually favor the growth of other microorganisms that will compete with the yeast.

yeast needs something to feed off of, for example, sugar. there are other things as well. Yeast is actually a living organism, which might sound kinda wierd, but its true.

I was asking myself the same question. Turns out NO. It prefers dark like when making beer you don't want it in the light. A cool dark place will work good.
