On a sheet of paper (or PowerPoint), draw fructose and glucose, and take them through dehydration synthesis to form sucrose. Show me where water is removed to allow such reaction (highlighters work well here), and highlight the covalent bond that is formed between carbon and oxygen in the newly-formed sucrose. Then, take sucrose through the process of hydrolysis, showing me where water comes in to break the bond between carbon and oxygen to give us glucose and fructose all over again. Show where the hydroxyl group and hydrogen are added back onto glucose and fructose. (Yes, this is just like what is already written out for you in the lecture presentation, BUT, this time, try to write out the process without simply copying what has already been done for you. This way, you are starting to learn the process). (30 points) Next, draw glycerol and three fatty acid hydrocarbon tails, and take them through dehydration synthesis to form a triglyceride. Show me where water is removed to allow such reaction, and highlight the covalent bond that is formed between carbon and oxygen in the newly-formed triglyceride. (do not worry about taking this one through hydrolysis). (30 points) Finally, draw and two amino acids from the list of amino acids in the text (or, alternatively you can pull any two of them off of Google if you would like), and take them through dehydration synthesis to form a dipeptide. Show me where water is removed to allow such reaction, and highlight the covalent bond that is formed between carbon and nitrogen (a peptide bond) in the newly-formed dipeptide. 9( Then, take that SAME dipeptide that you just formed through the process of hydrolysis, showing me where water comes in to break the bond between carbon and nitrogen to give us two separate amino acids all over again. Show where the hydroxyl group and hydrogen are added back onto those individual amino acids.
