The yeast is a living organism that creates carbon dioxide and that is what makes the bubbles that makes bread light and fluffy, there are also many breads that do not use yeast and these are called unleavened bread and are flat.

Yeast, a type of fungi, is used in bakeries primarily for its ability to ferment sugars, releasing carbon dioxide gas that causes bread dough to rise. This process creates a light and fluffy texture in baked goods. Yeast also contributes to the flavor and aroma of bread.
Bread made with all-purpose flour needs yeast to make it rise. Without the yeast, your bread will be flat when finished baking. Self-rising flour does not need yeast added to make it rise.
Beer is made primarily from grains such as barley, hops, yeast, and water. Yeast is a type of fungi that plays a crucial role in the fermentation process of beer production by consuming sugars and producing alcohol and carbon dioxide. Bacteria are not typically used in the production of beer, but they can have a negative impact if they contaminate the brewing process.
No, yeast is not a plant. Yeast is classified as a fungus. It is a single-celled organism that is part of the fungi kingdom.
Examples of single-celled fungi include yeasts such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida albicans, and Cryptococcus neoformans. These fungi are commonly used in baking, brewing, and medicine.
Besides mushrooms, other types of fungi include yeast, molds, and lichens. Yeasts are single-celled fungi used in baking and brewing, molds are multicellular fungi that grow as branching filaments, and lichens are symbiotic organisms consisting of a fungus and an alga or cyanobacterium.
Yeasts are used to make breads and alcohol. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the most common species, but other species can be used.Yeasts are used to make breads and alcohol. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the most common species, but other species can be used.
