Carbon Cycle Spend 10 minutes looking at this poster and then in groups of four draw your own copy from memory.
Photosynthesis equation • Carbon dioxide + Water • Makes • Glucose + oxygen • 6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6 O2
Aldose and ketose Aldopentose Ketohexose
Number of carbons • 3 C Triose • 4C tetrose • 5C Pentose • 6C Hexose • The simplest ketose is a triose called dihydroxypropanone (draw its structure)
Glucose • Glucose is an aldohexose • So too is galactose. What is the difference?
Glucose and fructose Fructose Glucose What is the difference?
Two forms of glucose Spot the difference!
