How would sugar affect yeast?

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.


Is mixing yeast and sugar chemical or physical change?

Mixing yeast and sugar is a physical change, as the yeast and sugar molecules remain the same even though they are combined. A chemical change would occur if the yeast and sugar reacted together to produce a different substance, such as carbon dioxide during fermentation.


How long does a Sugar Yeast CO2 Generator produce CO2?

Oh, dude, a Sugar Yeast CO2 Generator produces CO2 until the sugar runs out and the yeast is like, "Peace out, I'm done fermenting." So, like, it's all about that sweet sugar fueling the yeast party until it's like, "I'm out of here, I've done my CO2 duty." So, like, as long as there's sugar to munch on, that CO2 machine will keep on churning out the gas.
