(The other page was just
examples, these are all
the ones that should be
on your report as well as
the next page)
Data/Observations continued….
• Dehydration Synthesis (just 1 example
like below)
– glucose+glucose= sucrose + water
• Hydrolysis (just 1 example like below)
– Maltose + water= glucose + glucose
VI. Conclusion:
(Answer the assigned questions in completed sentences)
1. Why are functional groups important to chemistry?
2. What is the difference between a molecular formula
and a structural formula?
3. As growth occurs in the body, new substances must be
synthesized. By what type of chemical reaction are
molecules joined together to form more complex
molecules? What substance is released as a byproduct?
4. What type of chemical reaction is involved in the
breakdown of large molecules, such as those found in
food, into smaller molecules? What substance must be
present for this to occur?
