Warm water is best for yeast because yeast is a living organism that likes to live in similar temperatures to humans. Put yeast in hot water and it dies, put it in cold water and it will not do its job properly (will be too cold to reproduce fast etc). Put it in water that is just right and it will thrive
Live yeast can be used to inflate a balloon if you give the yeast something to ferment (such as sugar). They then produce carbon dioxide as a waste product that could inflate a balloon. You should not expect it to be buoyant, however, for CO2 is heavy as gases go (considerably heavier than air, for instance). The yeast cannot use salt for much of anything, however.
because when you are cold you need hot water to warm you up
The yeast will break down the glucose which produces Carbon dioxide + Ethanol + Energy during anaerobic respiration and the process is also known as 'fermentation'. Carbon dioxide and Ethanol are the waste products. During aerobic respiration, the yeast will produce the same products as we produce such as Carbon dioxide, water and energy.
because the water is boiling and you have killed all the yeast.
It depends on how hot I want it to be. If I want regular out-of-the-tap hot water, I stick my finger in it quickly and then shout and wave my hand about when it's actually hot. If I need boiling water to be a certain temperature, I measure the temperature with a candying thermometer.
Hot water kills yeast. If the water is to hot then the enzymes within the yeast will be denatured and unable to work. Instead warm water must be used to encourage 'growth'.
No, if the water is too hot, it can kill the yeast. The water needs to be between 90 and 110 degrees (F.)
Yes, hot water can activate yeast and help it to rise. The ideal temperature for yeast activation is around 100-110°F (37-43°C). However, water that is too hot can kill the yeast, so it's important to use a thermometer to check the temperature before adding it to the yeast.
The heat provides energy for the enzymes in the yeast to work. If the water is to hot however, the enzymes will be denatured, and the yeast will not grow.
Very hot liquids will kill off the yeast. Only use slightly warm water to activate the yeast.
hot water!
aqeous
yeast is an indicator of sugar. it blows up (puffs up) when it is both put in hot water
yes yeast is alive when u add hot water
When you mix yeast and hot water, the yeast begins to activate and multiply. This is because the warm water wakes up the dormant yeast cells and provides an ideal environment for them to feed on sugar and produce carbon dioxide, which causes the mixture to bubble and ferment. This process is important in baking to leaven bread and create a light and airy texture.
About 111 degrees is ideal...too hot and you may kill the little guys, too cold and the yeast wont proof
Yeast can be killed with heat, that is why you use warm water to start it, not hot.
