The yeast in bread dough feeds on sugar to produce carbon dioxide. Why does the dough rise faster in a warmer area? The activation energy has been increased. There are a greater number of effective collisions among reacting molecules at the higher temperature than at the lower temperature. Atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing temperature.
