In an experiment where they put yeast to 4 bottles with 1 cup of warm water then they also add different serving of sugar to the three bottles and only the bottle with sugar in it has the balloon inflated, the question is, is yeast a reactant in this chemical reaction? what is its function in this reaction?

Yes, yeast is a reactant in this chemical reaction. Yeast is a fungus that consumes sugar and produces carbon dioxide as a waste product. In this experiment, the yeast consumes the sugar in the water and produces carbon dioxide, which inflates the balloon.
