Yes.
Yeast is a living organism.
Living organisms are determined by the process of metabolism.
Metabolism is the ability to grow and the ability to use energy.
All living organisms (such as yeast) must use energy (such as sugar) to get energy.
Yeast metabolizes sugar and gives off carbon dioxide as a by-product.

∙ 15y agoYeast is used in baking as a leavening agent, where it converts the sugars present in the dough into carbon dioxide. This causes the dough to expand or rise as the carbon dioxide forms pockets or bubbles. When the dough is baked it "sets" and the pockets remain, giving the baked product a soft and spongy texture.

∙ 13y agoYes, it produces carbon dioxide as a byproduct while using the sugar as fuel. Use water as a catalyst when mixing these things... 20% sugar to 80% water with about 2 teaspoons of yeast. Cane sugar and bakers yeast will work, but the stronger the yeast and the more refined the sugar... the better this works.

∙ 13y agoit can defendly try a small experiment get bottle of pepsy drink or pore all of it out then put 1 quarter yeast and 1 quarter sugar in the bottle put a balloon properly seald on the top of it after to days the balloon will expand

∙ 12y agoNo. It needs to be in water with dissolved starch or sugar to produce carbon dioxide

Why sucrose fermentate faster than glucose?
Suggested answer only!Glucose is a single chain, fructose is 2 carbon rings attached by an oxygen atom. Is it not easier to split 2 stable rings at an oxygen (to give 2 OH groups) than it is to start carving up a straight chain molecule?
Why are Ascomycota called sac fungi?
Fungi, such as mushrooms, are not plants because they are not able to make their own sugar for food. Mushrooms use hair-like structures to absorb and digest food from the material they grow on. Yeast are single-celled fungi. Bakers use them in the baking of bread. Yeast take in sugar from bread dough and release carbon dioxide. This gas gets trapped in the dough, causing the dough to rise. A yeast cell reproduces by dividing into two cells.
Will brewers yeast cause gas in dogs?
It can. If it does, just decrease the amount you feed to him.
What happens to a dog when they eat raw dough?
When a dog eats raw dough, it can expand in their stomach due to the fermentation process. This can cause bloating, gas, and discomfort for the dog. Moreover, the raw dough may contain yeast, which can produce alcohol in the dog's stomach and lead to alcohol toxicity. It is important to seek veterinary attention if a dog consumes raw dough.
What gas do animals produce that puts carbon back into the atmosphere?
Carbon Dioxide
Is yeast produce a gas when sugar is Available?
No, combining yeast with sugar will not produce gas. Yeast must be dissolved in water with starch or sugar in order to begin fermentation producing CO2 gas.
Do you expect yeast to produce gas when sugar is available?
Yeast will produce gas if sugar, water, and warmth are available as long as the yeast is still alive. If it is too old or has been too hot and the yeast has died it won't create the gas.
What is the process where yeast produces carbon dioxide?
Fermentation.
What does dry yeast need to produce gas?
Warm liquid and sugar.
Why does cornmeal work with yeast to produce gas?
Yeast eats the sugar in the syrup. It then poops out co2 and alcohol. The carbon is a byproduct that comes from the yeast after eating sugars.
Can yeast produce a gas when no sugar or other food is available?
If there is nothing to metabolize, which is what yeast are doing with sugar, then they will most likely not grow and not produce any CO2. With that said, there are many strains that can continue to grow and reproduce with other chemical sources, not all of which create CO2 as a bi-product. That is to say, that sugar is not the only thing they can "eat."
Do yeast cells make their own food?
No. Yeast cells need some type of sugar to digest and produce gas.
Do you expect yeast to produce a gas when sugar is available?
Yes, in the presence of sugar, yeast ferments releasing carbon dioxide (which makes the bubbles in bread dough).
Can yeast be altered so it cannot produce a gas when sugar is available?
Yeast can be killed with heat, that is why you use warm water to start it, not hot.
Why does yeast rise in bread making?
Yeast reacts with sugar to produce Carbon Dioxide gas. This makes the dough rise (and produces the 'holes' you see when you slice into a loaf).
Why does sugar make yeast rise faster?
Yeast is made up of microorganisms (fungi) that feed on starches and sugar, producing gas that makes dough rise. Yeast can digest sugar quicker than starches, so rises faster when sugar is included.
Will yeast give off carbon dioxide without using sugar?
Yes, yeast will produce gas when mixed with warm liquid and starch (flour) without additional sugar. But it will take more time to rise.
