Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glucose is the preferred substrate of yeast [1, 41]. In this study, at least 23.6 ± 2.6% of the total amount of glucose released from the sucrose or fructan was consumed. The residual glucose and fructose remained in the final product.

Detailed explanation-2: -In order for fermentation to take place, all yeast needs food, moisture and a controlled warm environment. Its byproducts from consuming food are the gas carbon dioxide, alcohol, and other organic compounds.

Detailed explanation-3: -“When you eat too much sugar, your body tries to get rid of the excess in your urine, ” she says. “When that sugar-filled urine passes through you, it creates an environment where yeast have plenty to feed on-yeast love sugar-and the yeast grows out of control.”

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
