Study Notes
Asexual Reproduction in Yeast
- Yeast is a single-celled fungus used in creating bread, cheese, and antibiotics.
- Yeast primarily consumes sugars and starches.
- Yeast's byproducts are carbon dioxide and alcohol.
- Yeast reproduces asexually through budding, a process where a new cell develops from a parent cell.
- The new cell is genetically identical to the parent cell.
Cellular Respiration in Yeast
- Aerobic respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen, resulting in carbon dioxide, water, and energy.
- Anaerobic respiration occurs in the absence of oxygen, resulting in carbon dioxide, alcohol, and energy.
Key Facts
- New cells arise from pre-existing cells.
- Yeast cells reproduce exponentially.
