table sugar, or fructose is used in our everyday lives.
What form of glucose is used in our everyday lives?
|
Non-metals (Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen)
What types of elements are found in the glucose molecule?
|
A covalent bond is a bond formed between two nonmetals where the atoms share their electrons.
What is a covalent bond?
|
Hydrogen bonds
What type of bonds are formed between glucose molecules?
|
its structure
What determines the stability of a glucose molecule
|
|
insulin
What hormone, popular in the medical world, does glucose activate?
|
Covalent bonds are formed between the atoms. There are 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms.
What bonds are formed to hold the glucose together and how many of each atom in the bond?Covalent bonds are formed between the atoms. There are 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms.
|
There are both polar and non polar covalent bonds.
What are the types of covalent bonds?
|
Because covalent bonds are stronger than hydrogen bonds, glucose molecules are able to stay together for the most part.
How do glucose molecules stay together while bonding with other elements?
|
hexagonal structure
Which structure makes the glucose bond more stable?
|
|
Arguably, a nutritionist would pay most attention to glucose, as these levels must be maintained in order to remain healthy.
What profession in healthcare deals with glucose the most?
|
carbonyl aldehyde and alcohol groups are found in glucose.
What are the different functional groups found within the glucose bond? Can you point these out?
|
These points are relatively low because covalent compounds are made mainly of neutral elements.
Describe the melting and boiling points of covalent compounds.
|
Glucose can be found in either a hexagonal shape or a single stranded shape.
What are the shapes of the different forms of glucose molecules?
|
The C-O bond in the hexagonal structure has a higher bond energy than that in the single stranded structure.
Why does the hexagonal structure relate to higher stability?
|
|
Glucose is the main fuel behind our bodily processes. Without glucose, our cells cannot perform cellular respiration, so we will die.
How are glucose and health related?
|
Why is carbon the chemical "backbone" of glucose?
Carbon likes to form 4 covalent bonds, so having it at the center allows for it to form bonds with the hydrogen and oxygen on either side.
Why is carbon the chemical "backbone" of glucose?
|
An example of a covalent bond is water and glucose. One glucose molecule can rearrange itself into 6 water molecules with 6 carbons remaining.
What is an example of a covalent bond? Relate it to the glucose molecule.
|
aldehyde group and alcohol group
Can you point out the different groups in the structure of the glucose molecule?
|
Dextrose is another name for glucose
What is another name for glucose?
|
|
Glucose, in the environment, is one of the most basic forms of energy. Glucose helps keep patients energetic, and it gives their body the fuel it needs to fight off diseases. It also keeps the patients' heartbeat at a constant pace.
Why is the glucose molecule important to healthcare workers in order for them to do their job properly?
|
The oxygen is double bonded to the carbon, as oxygen has 2 lone pairs and carbon likes to make 4 bonds. This also prompts the hydrogen and 2nd carbon (from the back) to join in order to full fill the 1st carbon's wish of forming 4 bonds.
Describe how the aldehyde group is formed in a glucose molecule
|
The glucose molecule contains both partial positive and partial negative charges, therefore it is a polar covalent bond. Because it is polar, the glucose is not able to float through the nonpolar phospholipids and must use a transport enzyme in order to go into the cell.
What type of covalent bond is a glucose molecule? How does this affect the entrance of glucose into the cell?
|
The partial negative charge of the oxygen causes it to form hydrogen bonds in the alcohol group. *show picture*
How do glucose bonds form hydrogen bonds with eachother?
|
A glucose molecule!
So from all of this, we can conclude that what molecule is the best?
