Detailed explanation-1: -What is baker’s yeast? “Yeast is a fungus that grows as a single cell, rather than as a mushroom, ‘’ says Laura Rusche, associate professor of biological sciences. Though each yeast organism is made up of just one cell, yeast cells live together in multicellular colonies.

Detailed explanation-2: -In food manufacture, yeast is used to cause fermentation and leavening. The fungi feed on sugars, producing alcohol (ethanol) and carbon dioxide; in beer and wine manufacture the former is the desired product, in baking it is the latter.

Detailed explanation-3: -Yeasts, unlike bacteria, are eukaryotic. As a result, they cannot be classified as bacteria and instead belong to the fungi group. Yeast is a fungus that grows as a single cell, not as a mushroom. Despite the fact that each yeast organism is made up of only one cell, yeast cells coexist in multicellular colonies.
