Document Content and Description Below

Student Exploration: Dehydration Synthesis Directions: Follow the instructions to go through the simulation. Respond to the questions and prompts in the orange boxes. Vocabulary: carbohydrate, chem... ical formula, dehydration synthesis, disaccharide, glucose, hydrolysis, monosaccharide, polysaccharide, valence Prior Knowledge 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? when an organism lacks a harmful amount of water 2. Astronauts and backpackers often bring dehydrated food. What do you think dehydrated food is? when water is extracted of food 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 [Show More]
