Baker’s Yeast Scientific name: Saccharomyces cerevisiae Common name: Brewer’s yeast/ Baker’s yeast Habitat: found in the wild growing on the skins of grapes and other fruits. Adaptations: Are able break down their food through both aerobic respiration and anaerobic fermentation, can survive in an oxygen deficient environment, both sexual and asexual reproduction Unicellular Eukaryotes with cell wall Solitary Microscopic decomposer Used in alcohol, genetic Research, biological research, and chemical research, many different types

Baker’s Yeast Reproduces at any age Only produces one offspring per reproduction cycle It happens every 20 minutes asexually Found in the wild growing on fruit Found all over the world Defenses: enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants
