Question

Are carbon dioxide produced by humans and carbon dioxide produced by yeast both the same? answer yes or no​

Answer 1

Answer:

They both consume carbon based foodstuff and oxidise it (with oxygen) to produce energy and carbon dioxide.

We use atmospheric oxygen, yeast get it from the carbohydrate (and water?) along with the carbon.

It is called respiration :-

“a process in living organisms involving the production of energy, typically with the intake of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide from the oxidation of complex organic substances”

Answer 2

Answer:

No

Yeasts feed on sugars and starches, which are abundant in bread dough! They turn this food into energy and release carbon dioxide gas as a result. This process is known as fermentation. The carbon dioxide gas made during fermentation is what makes a slice of bread so soft and spongy.
