Cellular Respiration is when cells get energy from carbohydrates
so, the difference beween this and a fire is that this happens inside your body from carbohydrates

∙ 8y agoCellular respiration is not the same as breathing. Respiration is just breathing in oxygen and breathing out carbon dioxide, but cellular respiration is a chemical reaction that uses oxygen and glucose which gives the products carbon dioxide, water, and energy.
Cellular respiration is a process that takes place in all cells, in which glucose is added to oxygen, and through a chemical reaction, yields water and energy. The formula for this is
C6H12O6 + 6O2 � 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP.
Respiration is a process in which a living organism takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide, water, and other wastes. Respiration is needed for cellular respiration to take place, and without cellular respiration, there would be no energy for respiration to happen.

Definition of cellular respiration: Respiration is a serial flow of electrons from an oxidizable substrate (like sugars) to an ultimate electron acceptor (like oxygen) resulting in the generation of energy, which is used in various cellular needs.
When the electron acceptor is oxygen it is aerobic respiration, whereas when the acceptor is some other substances like iron, sulfur or copper it is called anaerobic respiration.
Respiration usually refers to breathing done by mammals. Cellular respiration is a chemical process performed by cells to create energy from nutrients.

∙ 13y agocellular respiration doesn't need a source of heat for it to work, and instead uses enzymes to begin the reaction. It also requires a specific fuel, while combustion is less picky.
combustion requires oxygen, a fuel source, and a catalyst (either heat or something to begin the reaction)

What is the difference between respiration to fermentation?
Respiration uses oxygen, fermentation doesn't.
What best describes the difference between photosynthesis in the chloroplast and cellular respiration in the mitochondiria?
Photosynthesis makes glucose molecules, but cellular respiration breaks them down.
What is the difference between cellular respiration and burning marshmallow?
Nothing. It's exactly the same thing.
What is the difference between molecular remission and cellular remission?
What is the difference between molecular remission and cellular remission?
What is the main difference between the starting compounds of fermentation and cellular respiration?
Their starting compound are different because fermentation takes in 2NAD+ and 2ADP molecules and changes them into 2NADH and 2ATP and 2 pyruvic acid molecules, while cellular respiration takes in electrons through electron carriers. What was this guy thinking when he made this answer....
What is the major similarity and difference between cellular respiration and respiration and photosynthesis?
That it have cell
What is one true distinction between fermentation and cellular respiration?
cellular respiration uses oxygen but fermentation does not use oxygen
The difference between photosynthesis in chloroplasts and cellular respiration in the mitochondria?
Photosynthesis makes glucose molecules, but cellular respiration breaks them down.

Differentiate between external inertial cellular respiration?
The external inertial respiration refers to breathing, while the cellular respiration refers to respiration between the cells.
What are the main similarities between cellular respiration and photosynthesis?
The main similarities between cellular respiration and photosynthesis is that they are both processes in which a cell produces glucose or energy. Both are used in your everyday environment. One difference is that photosynthesis happens in plants and cellular respiration in both plants and animals.
The difference between cellular respiration and fermintation?
callular respiration breaks down food with oxygen and fermentation breaks down food with out using oxygen
What is the difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs in terms of whether the cells perform photosynthesis and or cellular respiration?
Autotrophs perform both respiration and photosynthesis. Heterotrophs perform only respiration
