Document Content and Description Below

Student Exploration: Dehydration Synthesis Vocabulary: carbohydrate, chemical formula, dehydration synthesis, disaccharide, glucose, hydrolysis, monosaccharide, polysaccharide, valence Prior Knowle... dge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) 1. If you exercise on a hot day, you need to worry about dehydration. In this context, what do you think dehydration means? A lack of water needed in the body 2. Astronauts and backpackers often bring dehydrated food. What do you think dehydrated food is? Food without water or moisture Gizmo Warm-up What do rice, potatoes, and sugar have in common? They are all foods rich in carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are an important energy source for your body. The basic building block of most carbohydrate compounds is the molecule glucose. Using the Dehydration Synthesis Gizmo™, you will learn about the structure of a glucose molecule and how glucose molecules can be joined together to make larger carbohydrate molecules. To begin, select the CREATE GLUCOSE tab. 1. Look at the chemical formula for glucose. How many carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) atoms are found in a molecule of glucose? C:___6____ H:___12____ O:___6____ 2. Turn on Show chemical structure. Each black sphere represents a carbon, hydrogen, or oxygen atom. The lines connecting the spheres represent chemical bonds. A. How many black spheres are in the diagram? 24 [Show More]
