Question

In baking, saccharomyces cerevisiae present in the dough undergo __________ to create bread that will rise when heated.

Answer 1

Answer:

The purpose of any leavener is to produce the gas that makes bread rise. Yeast does this by feeding on the sugars in flour, and expelling carbon dioxide in the process. While there are about 160 known species of yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, commonly known as baker's yeast, is the one most often used in the kitchen.
