Solution

Yeast:
Yeast is a unicellular fungus, which requires nutrition, optimum temperature, and moisture to reproduce asexually.
It reproduces asexually by the process called budding, where a small protrusion called bud appears from the parent cell.
The bud undergoes repetitive mitotic division to grow in size.
When yeast colonies are present in water it fails to grow. But when placed in sugar solution it gets optimum nutrition for their multiplication. Hence the colonies become larger.
