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.
Because its cells are similar to human cells but grow a lot faster. The most common use of yeast, aside from baking bread and brewing beer, is to test how a particular drug or chemical or enzyme affects unicellular organisms. Like human cells, yeast cells have a typical eukaryotic structure, including a nucleus, cytoplasm, and mitochondria. * Yeast also shares many genes with human cells, so if you want to find out what a particular drug does to a certain human gene, you can often test it on yeast cells first.
