Best Answer: Yeast is a microscopic plant that feeds on sugar. It is used in brewing, breadmaking, and as a nutritional supplement (B vitamin complex). There are different types--brewer's yeast, bread yeast, etc.. The yeast in a yeast infection is in the same family, but you wouldn't want to cook with it.any types of yeasts are used for making many foods: Baker's yeast in bread production, brewer's yeast in beer fermentation, yeast in wine fermentation and for xylitol[19] production. Yeasts are also one of the most widely used model organisms for genetics and cell biology.
Yeasts consist of one cell, and belong to the taxonomic group called fungi, which also contains moulds. There are many species of yeasts. The most common yeast known is Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is used in the baking-and brewing industry.Yeasts also play an important role in the production of wine, kefir and some other products. Most yeasts used in the food industry are round and divide themselves through budding.n beer the yeast is needed to produce the alcohol and the carbon dioxide for the brim. In the bread industry, both alcohol and carbon dioxide are formed; the alcohol evaporates during baking. Yeasts can be found everywhere in nature, especially on plants and fruits.
