How can you use yeast as an indicator to see if theres sugar in a material?

You can use yeast as an indicator to test for sugar in a material by observing if the yeast produces carbon dioxide gas when exposed to the material. Yeast consumes sugar to produce carbon dioxide during fermentation. If the material contains sugar, the yeast will produce carbon dioxide, causing bubbling or foaming to occur.

You have used granulated sugar instead of castor sugar will it make a difference?

Depends on what the sugar is for. If it is to sweeten then there will be no difference to flavour, but you will feel the sugar as you eat it. If it is to feed yeast then you can use it but you should use more yeast because it needs to work harder to get it's food, alternatively you could disolve the sugar in water.

Why sugar is important to the growth of yeast?

This is actually not a chemical reaction. Yeast are living organisms and they use sugar as an energy source, so if you put yeast and sugar together the yeast will consume the sugar and give off carbon dioxide. This is why breads made with yeast rise and have small holes in the bread after it is baked - the holes are where small bubbles of carbon dioxide were trapped.
