Yeast is used in making _______.

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) Wine

• Yeast belongs to the kingdom of fungi. It is a eukaryotic unicellular fungus which is used in bread, beer, wine making.
  
• ​Yeast is used in making wine through the process of fermentation. During fermentation, yeast converts the sugars present in grapes (or other fruits) into alcohol and carbon dioxide.
• This process is essential for producing alcoholic beverages like wine.
• The yeast used in wine-making is typically Saccharomyces cerevisiae or other wine-specific strains that efficiently convert sugars into alcohol.

Antibiotics:

• Yeast is not directly used to make antibiotics. However, some antibiotics, such as penicillin, are produced by fungi (like Penicillium) rather than yeast. Yeast is not a direct source of antibiotics but is involved in biotechnology processes for producing some medicines.

Curd:

• Yeast is not used in making curd either. Curd (or yogurt) is made through the fermentation of milk by lactic acid bacteria such as Lactobacillus species, not by yeast. These bacteria ferment lactose in the milk to produce lactic acid, which causes the milk to thicken and form curd.

Cheese:

• Yeast is not used in cheese-making. Cheese is produced through the fermentation of milk by bacteria, not yeast. Specific bacteria are added to milk to ferment lactose and produce lactic acid, which causes the milk proteins to
  coagulate and form curds. Yeast plays no significant role in traditional cheese-making.
