Marne: Dale:
Student Explorationidentifying Nutrients
Directions: Follow the instructions t o g o through the simuiation. Respond t o the questions and
prompts i n the orange boxes.
Vocabulary carbohydrate, d (saccharide, pid. monosaccharide, polysaccharide, protein, starch
Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.)
1. VWiat are the major types of nutrients you can get from food?
proteins. lipids, and carboiydrates
2. How are these nutrients used by your cody?
these nutrients are used in your body for energy
Gizmo Warm-up
Have you ewer wondeted idial s in your food? Sclent sts Lse a variety of
tests to determine the nutritional content of food. You wi learn four of
those tests with the foenrAtej Mdri&rts Gizmo.
1. Below tbeFood samples lacel, drag tube A tte the Food sample
holder. Below the Bened ict test, click the Test button. 'Aha: i s done
h the Benedict lest?
Tube A maze the Bene: c: test tum orange.
2. The Beneoic l sduton i s a lest for monosaccharides; simpe sugars
Ik e glucose or fructose (fruit sugar); and some disaccharides such
a s lactose and maltose. In contact with these Suga's, the Benedict
solution turns from blue to greet to orange. Fo'simpicrty, w e will
consider tne Benedict test a test for monosaccharides only.
Coes Sample A contain these sugars?
Note: Sucrase (table sugar) s a disaccharide that isntrf detected by the Benedict test. Foods sweetened
only with table sugar will show a negative Benedict test.
