Question
If Brewers yeast was replaced with Saccharomyces in the beer-making process, which of the following would be the most likely consequence?Group of answer choicesAlcohol and acids will be produced, but no carbon dioxideCarbon dioxide and acids will be produced, but no alcoholNo carbon dioxide or alcohol would be producedNo change, they are the same organismInstead of carbon dioxide and alcohol, sugars would be produced
Solution
No change, they are the same organism.
Explanation: Brewer's yeast is actually a common name for Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is used in baking and beer making for its ability to convert sugar into carbon dioxide and alcohol. Therefore, replacing Brewer's yeast with Saccharomyces in the beer-making process would not result in any change because they are the same organism.
