Yeast does not come with any sugars. It is a live single-celled fungus which essentially converts fermentable sugars into carbon dioxide. When sugar is added to yeast, the yeast "feeds" off of the sugar, and carbon dioxide is the resulting byproduct (causing the "pockets" of air found in almost all breads). The yeast you get from the store does not have any sugar inside- if it did, the resulting carbon dioxide mass would cause the package to expand. Yeast is usually packed in some form of low-growth potato meal.

Yes! The end product of the yeast eating the sugar is alcohol....

yeast contains an enzyme called invertase, which acts as a catalyst and helps to convert the sucrose sugars into glucose and fructose
