glucose + oxygen → <span>water + carbon dioxide
</span>
The general equation of combustion is:
fuel + oxygen → <span>water + carbon dioxide

Both reactions involve breaking down of large molecules (glucose and fuel) using oxygen into water and carbon dioxide. In both reactions, chemical energy is transformed into more useful form.</span>
