What does Yeast mean?

Question

Please help me

Answer 1

all those other commenters are right, about yeast, single- celled organism, etc.

but you asked the question in Social Science and Economics.
In that context, Yeast can mean that which helps a business to grow, or brings in more money.

Yeast would be related to a "rain maker."

Answer 2

Yeasts are single-celled (unicellular) fungi, a few species of which are commonly used to leaven bread, ferment alcoholic beverages, and even drive experimental fuel cells. Most yeasts belong to the division Ascomycota, though some are Basidiomycota. A few yeasts, such as Candida albicans, can cause infection in humans (Candidiasis). More than one thousand species of yeasts have been described. The most commonly used yeast is Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which was domesticated for wine, bread, and beer production thousands of years ago. Yeast, paricularly baker's yeast, may have an unpleasant smell.
