Chapter 5, Problem 113RQ

Sucrose, ${\text{C}}_{\text{12}}{\text{H}}_{\text{22}}{\text{O}}_{\text{11}}$, is ordinary table sugar. Write a balanced chemical equation representing the metabolism of sucrose. (See Review Problem 5.79.)

The metabolism of carbohydrates such as glucose, ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}{\text{O}}_{\text{6}}$, produces the same products as combustion in excess oxygen. Write a chemical equation representing the metabolism (combustion) of glucose.
