Yeast used in making bread and beer is a fungus
Yeast is a single-celled fungus that belongs to the kingdom Fungi. It is commonly used in the production of bread and beer due to its ability to ferment sugars and produce carbon dioxide and alcohol.
Explanation:
- Yeast is classified as a fungus because it shares common characteristics with other fungi, such as having a cell wall made of chitin and reproducing through the formation of spores.
- Fungi are eukaryotic organisms that obtain nutrients through absorption, and yeast fits this description as it obtains nutrients by absorbing sugars from its environment.
- The use of yeast in bread and beer production is based on its ability to ferment sugars, producing carbon dioxide which causes bread to rise and alcohol in the case of beer.
- Therefore, it is correct to say that yeast used in making bread and beer is a fungus.
In conclusion, option 'C' is the correct assignment of the organism to its taxonomic group as yeast belongs to the kingdom Fungi.
