Pretty well, everything that goes on in a cell happens because of enzymes. Remember, enzymes are catalytic proteins that speed up metabolic reactions and make things happen.

If yeast cells have the necessary enzymes to metabolize the sugar, then fermentation can happen. If they don't have the enzymes, they nothing can happen and the sugar cannot be utilized.

Glucose is a readily available sugar that yeast can use because they have the necessary enzymes to metabolize glucose. The same goes with sucrose. In fact, sucrose is made up of a glucose and a fructose bound together. ...

  • Alcohol Content Differences In Spirits And Beers

    Fermentation occurs whenever the two necessary ingredients, carbohydrate and yeast, are combined in a liquid. Fermentation stops when the sugars are depleted or when the alcohol level reaches about 14% and kills the yeast.

  • Two tests for the fermentation of Mannitol

    When a microbe is inoculated into a PR-Carb broth, that organism will either ferment the carbohydrate (or in this case mannitol) or not. If fermentation occurs, the by-products are almost always acidic.
