Explanation

Yeasts are eukaryotic microorganisms classified within the Kingdom Fungi. They reproduce asexually by budding or fission and obtain nutrients through absorption. Unlike bacteria which are prokaryotic, viruses which are non-living, and protists which are a separate kingdom of mostly unicellular eukaryotes, yeasts share all defining fungal characteristics including cell walls made of chitin and inability to perform photosynthesis.
