Both glucose and fructose arc simple sugars with the same

Chapter 10, Problem 131AP

(choose chapter or problem)

Both glucose and fructose arc simple sugars with the same molecular formula of C6H12O6. Sucrose (C12H22O11), or table sugar, consists of a glucose molecule bonded to a fructose molecule (a water molecule is eliminated in the formation of sucrose). (a) Calculate the energy released when a 2.0-g glucose tablet is burned in air. (b) To what height can a 65-kg person climb after ingesting such a tablet, assuming only 30 percent of the energy released is available for work. (See the hint for 5.109.) Repeat the calculations for a 2.0-g sucrose tablet.
