How does temperature affect yeast's ability to produce carbon dioxide?

Answer 1

Yeasts will grow over a temperature range of 10°-37°C (50°-98.6°F), with an optimal temperature range of 30°-37°C (86°-98.6°F), depending on the type of species. There is little activity in the range of 0°-10°C. Above 37°C yeast cells become stressed and will not divide properly. Most yeast cells die above 50°C (122°F). The cells can survive freezing under certain conditions, with viability decreasing over time.

Answer 2

Temperature affects yeast's ability to produce carbon dioxide by influencing its metabolic rate. In general, higher temperatures increase yeast activity, resulting in faster fermentation and more carbon dioxide production. However, extreme temperatures can denature enzymes and impair yeast function, leading to decreased carbon dioxide production.

Answer 3

Yeast grows best at 26°C (79°F), and ferments best at 30 - 35°C (86 - 95°F). At lower temperatures yeast slows down both processes and becomes "dormant". At higher temperatures, yeast enzymes do not work well. That is just like a human with a fever.

Answer 4

yes because a type of temperature can turn yeast into a type of gas

Answer 5

Yes. as temperature rises pressure rises and density rises.
