Found this in bite size: Yeast cells are useful to bakers and brewers. Yeast cells can change sugar into carbon dioxide gas and alcohol. This is useful to bakers because the gas helps the bread rise, and it is useful to brewers because it adds the alcohol needed for their drinks. Bacteria are also useful to us. For example, certain bacteria cause the changes needed in milk to make yogurt and cheese out of it. Sort of what Holly said
