Question

Name one commercial use of yeast.

Answer 1

Fungi:

1. Fungi are non-green multicellular plant-like organisms.
2. Fungi are heterotrophic in nature and therefore can't prepare their own food.
3. Fungi include yeast and mushrooms.

Commercial use of Yeast:

1. Yeast is widely used in cake and bread preparation because it converts the sugar in the dough to carbon dioxide.
2. The yeast releases carbon dioxide, which fills the dough and increases its volume.
3. Due to the heat, more gas bubbles emerge when this dough is baked. The bread rises and becomes soft and fluffy as the gas leaves.
