Like all batteries, eventually it gets depleted and needs to be replaced; this can be expected to happen after 5-10 years, depending on system usage. CMOS checksum error (and similar messages) or the system clock being reset are classic signs of the battery having been depleted. The BIOS settings contain several system-critical values.
In order to grow, yeast need glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6) or sucrose (table sugar, C 12 H 22 O 11), water (H 2 O) and warm temperatures. As yeast digest sugar, they turn into alcohol. In the process they give off carbon dioxide (CO 2) gas. The alcohol dissolves in the water and the gas escapes into the air. Yeast is used to make bread.
In bread baking, when yeast ferments the sugars available from the flour and/or from added sugar, the carbon dioxide gas cannot escape because the dough is elastic and stretchable. As a result of this expanding gas, the dough inflates, or rises.
