Textbook Question
Chapter 24, Problem 33CTQ
Historically, artisanal breads were produced by capturing wild yeasts from the air. Prior to the development of modern yeast strains, the production of artisanal breads was long and laborious because many batches of dough ended up being discarded. Can you explain this fact?

Explain why a jar of jelly can be left open on the kitchen counter for prolonged periods of time, yet no mold or bacteria will grow on it?
Will this new strain of yeast obtain more or less free energy from glucose in its growing medium?
A. more because it does not have to make cytochrome c and has more resources to give to obtaining energy
B. less because cytochrome c is key to the electron transport chain
C. more because making cytochrome c uses up ATP
D. less because cytochrome c directly produces ATP in the cytoplasm
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?
