Yeast is a single-celled fungus. It, in itself, is an organism. It feeds on sugar and releases the waste byproduct as carbon dioxide and alcohol. Hence it being used in beer...eats the sugar. When bread rises, that rising comes from the yeast eating all the sugar in the mixture and releasing the gas, causing the bread to rise.

Yeast is consider is considered man’s oldest industrial microorganism. Some people say it was been use even before written language. Egyptians were using yeast and the process of fermentation to produce alcoholic beverages and to leaven bread, this was found through some hieroglyphics. Yeast is a biochemical process of fermentation.
Yeasts (in plural because they are different types/chains) are single-celled fungi. They are related to things we eat, like edible mushrooms, baker’s yeast, blue cheese (molds), even molds that produce antibiotics.
And we all awe this to Luis Pasteur Louis that in the late 1860’s identified yeast as a living organism. Also he discovered with his scientific research that yeast was responsible for alcohol fermentation & bread leavening. After this he awas able to isolate the pure yeast strains and culture them & from those cultured yeast they started commercial production as we now it today

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.
