This might be a double definition.

'elevator in' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both substances as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'bakery?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yeast that I've seen before include "Organism causing fermentation" , "Fungus used in brewing and baking" , "As yet (anag)" , "Fungus used in fermenting" , "Brewer's agent" .)
