Use the real-world context of sugars in food and our bodies to apply learners’ understanding of relative formula mass
Starch is a type of carbohydrate found in many foods such as pasta, potatoes, bread and rice. When we eat starchy foods, the enzymes in our bodies break the large starch molecules into smaller molecules called simple sugars. The questions in these worksheets explore some of the reactions and ask learners to apply their understanding of relative mass to this real-world context.
