How is respiration similar to burning of fuel?
In what way is respiration like burning?
Why does the energy between burning and respiration differ?
Both burning and respiration require a supply of oxygen. Both burning and respiration obtain it from the air, and both burning and respiration create carbon dioxide. Whereas ordinary burning is easily recognised as a form of combustion, respiration is a form of "slow combustion". Similarly in a garden the compost heap develops heat from slow combustion; heat which you can easily detect if you put a load of grass cuttings and leaves into it and test its temperature half a day later. Faster burning (combustion) would be seen if you had a bonfire on the Fifth of November.
What are the similarities between respiration and burning fuels?
At a molecular level they are the same thing and release the same products -CO2 and energy.
Differences between respiration and combustion?
Combustion is burning.it releases energy rapidly providing large amounts of energy in a short time. Respiration is breathing and oxidation. Energy is released in a controlled way.
What are differences between photo synthesis and cellular respiration?
They're opposites. (H2O + CO2 [+ sunlight]) -> sugars + O2) vrs (sugars + O2 = H2O + CO2)

What are the differences between rusting and respiration?
rusting is a process in which iron oxide is formed on iron in the presence of oxygen and water. respiration includes the burning or combustion of food for the release of energy with the presence of oxygen or without oxygen.

What is the different between cellular respiration and getting energy from a log by burning it?
When a log is burning, it burns energy quickly; and when cellular respiration happens, it burns energy gradually.
