Process Yeast Describe Baking Biotechnology Microorganism Involved Mixed

Baking is presented as an example of biotechnology where yeast, a microorganism, is used. Yeast respires anaerobically to produce carbon dioxide, which leavens the dough, and the yeast cells are killed during the baking process.

Baking exemplifies biotechnology through the use of yeast, a microorganism. Yeast undergoes anaerobic respiration, producing carbon dioxide that causes dough to rise. The yeast is ultimately killed during the baking process.

Front Describe the process of baking as an example of biotechnology.
Back Baking:
  • Microorganism involved - yeast (mixed with sugar and water to respire anaerobically, producing CO2 which makes dough rise)
  • Yeast cells killed in process
