What can yeast do in aerobic conditions to make?

Aerobic respiration is a process where active yeast (live) has both sugar and oxygen. yeast cells react with glucose (sugar), and oxygen (from air) to generate energy. They also produce carbon dioxide (a gas) and water.



Question: What are the conditions yeast must grow in order to thrive?

As with all living things, yeast needs water, food, oxygen, and comfortable temperatures. There are many types of beer-making yeasts.

Moreover, yeast can survive both in anaerobic and aerobic conditions. Yeast is facultatively anaerobic, which means they can only ferment in anaerobic environments. To survive, humans need O 2. However, their cells are able to use fermentation when O 2 is low. The yeast can perform aerobic metabolism when O2 is present.

Also, do yeast make ethanol in aerobic conditions?

Fermentation with Yeast These yeasts can produce ethanol under aerobic conditions. Yeasts A are facultative anaerobes. They can produce ethanol even in the absence of oxygen. Both are very important commercially.

What enzyme is yeast capable of producing?

The enzyme maltase is produced by yeast to convert moltose molecules into glucose molecules so that yeast can ferment. After starch has been reduced into simple sugars, yeast's other enzymes can react with simple sugars to make alcohol and carbon dioxide during the bread-making process called fermentation.
