Humans have taken advantage of the metabolism in a tiny fungus called yeast to create beer, wine, spirits and bread from grains and fruits. What are the biological mechanisms behind these food processes? How do they differ in the production of bread, wine and beer? Can you use the same kind of yeast to make wine and bread for example? Why?

Yeast cells are added to sterilized corn mash in large industrial fermenters to produce ethanol, which is added to gasoline. It is necessary to install cooling systems around the fermenters because heat is released at each step of the fermentation pathway heat is absorbed by yeast as they carry on fermentation cooler temperatures decrease the production of the CO2 by-product ethanol is less toxic to yeast at cooler temperatures
a. What is the purpose of boiling the wort in beer preparation?b. What are hops used for?c. If fermentation of sugars to produce alcohol in wine is anaerobic,why do winemakers make sure that the early phase of yeastgrowth is aerobic?
What type of fermentation is involved in the production of yogurt and sour cream? A. Lactic Acid Fermentation by Bacteria B. Lactic Acid Fermentation by Muscles C. Acohol Fermentation by Bacteria D. Acohol Fermentation by Yeast
Referencing the image above, you are designing an experiment to determine which food source your yeast utilizes best (flour or glucose). You know that yeast will use the enzyme zymase to digest the substrate to create CO2 via anaerobic respiration and you can capture and measure the CO2 with the balloons. Write hypotheses that you could use to test which food source the yeast prefer. H0: HA:
water and yeast water, yeast, and sugar water and sugar water, yeast and flour boiling water, yeast and sugar which balloons did fermentation occur? In which balloon did the most fermentation occur and why? Of the balloons in which fermentation occurred, which balloon emitted the smallest amount of carbon dioxide gas (less fermentation occurred). Discuss why this happened List the balloons in which fermentation did not occur, and discuss why fermentation did not occur in each.
In the absence of oxygen, the primary purpose of fermentation is to: generate glucose for ATP synthesis generate alcohol for beverages regenerate NAD+ from NADH allowing glycolysis to continue produce amino acids for protein synthesis oxidize glucose to generate oxygen
You are talking with a winemaker about yeast. "I know that yeast can survive under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions," he says, "but what I don't understand is why they seem to need so much more sugar under anaerobic conditions. I think they gobble a hundred times as much sugar." Can you explain to him why yeast might need more sugar under anaerobic conditions than under aerobic conditions? Is his estimation of a hundred times as much sugar reasonable?
CO2 is released as glucose is being metabolized by yeast cells. Do yeast cells treat this product as a useable source of energy or waste product?
What is the primary difference between lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation? lactic acid produced CO2, whereas alcoholic fermentation does not alcoholic fermentation produces O2, whereas lactic acid does not alcoholic fermentation produces CO2, whereas lactic acid does not alcoholic fermentation is an aerobic process, whereas lactic acid fermentation is an anaerobic process
Fermentations yield only a fraction of the energy available from the complete combustion of glucose. Why is a relatively inefficient metabolic pathway so extensively used?
