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 by- product? 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?
