Balance the following equations:
Glucose (a simple sugar) is created in the plant by photosynthesis.
_CO2 + _H2O + light → _C6H12O6 + _O2
During ethanol fermentation, glucose is decomposed into ethanol and carbon dioxide.
_C6H12O6 → _C2H5OH + _CO2 + heat
During combustion ethanol reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and heat:
_C2H5OH + _O2 → _CO2 + _H2O + heat

6CO2 + 6H2O + (yields) C6H12O6 + 6O2
C6H12O6 (YIELDS) 2C2H5OH + 2CO2
C2H5OH + O2 (YIELDS) 2CO2 + 3H2O
C6H12O6 (YIELDS) 2C2H5OH + 2CO2
C2H5OH + O2 (YIELDS) 2CO2 + 3H2O
