Answer:
Yeast are single-celled fungi. As fungi, they are related to the other fungi that people are more familiar with, including: edible mushrooms available at the supermarket, common baker's yeast used to leaven bread, molds that ripen blue cheese, and the molds that produce antibiotics for medical and veterinary use.
Explanation:
Yeast is a single-cell organism, called Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which needs food, warmth, and moisture to thrive. It converts its food—sugar and starch—through fermentation, into carbon dioxide and alcohol. It's the carbon dioxide that makes baked goods rise.

- Nitrogen, the most important yeast nutrient, is a key factor that has a significant impact on wine fermentation. Why do yeasts need nutrients? Nitrogen (YAN), vitamins (thiamine) and mineral salts (Mg, Zn) are essential for yeast activity.
- Most yeasts reproduce asexually by budding: a small bump protrudes from a parent cell, enlarges, matures, and detaches. A few yeasts reproduce by fission, the parent cell dividing into two equal cells. Torula is a genus of wild yeasts that are imperfect, never forming sexual spores
