Solution

Fermentation:

  1. The process to convert sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide is called fermentation.
  2. Yeast is widely used in cake and bread preparation because it converts the sugar in the dough to carbon dioxide.
  3. The yeast releases carbon dioxide, which fills the dough and increases its volume.
  4. 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.
