Best Answer

They are both redox reactions involving reacting oxygen with a fuel (glucose), generating energy in the process. If you are familiar with the chemical definition of a combustion reaction, it can be seen that the overall equation of cellular respiration is exactly the same as the chemical reaction for burning glucose in air. However, even though the overall equation is the same, the actual process of cellular respiration is much more controlled than regular combustion (otherwise we'd all be burning inside our cells).

When occurs cellular respiration?

Cellular respiration occurs when cells oxidize food molecules into carbon dioxide and water. Cellular respiration is the process that cells use to get their energy.


What type of cells obtain energy from cellular respiration?

All cells obtain energy from cellular respiration. Some undergo anaerobic respiration and some undergo aerobic respiration.


When is cellular respiration?

cellular respiration is preformed when the cells need to obtain energy from glucose.


How are the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

they are alike because in photosynthesis plants create oxygen. cells use the oxygen that plants produce in cellular respiration to get cells oxygen.there for it makes a cycle. plants produce oxygen,cells take oxygen,we produce carbondioxide, plants use carbon dioxide in photosynthesis.

Do plants cells or animal cells carry out cellular respiration?

Yes. Plants and animals need energy. Energy must therefore be made in the cells.No, only animal cells carry on cellular respiration.animal cells carryon cellular respiration. plant cells carry out photosynthesis which is the opposite of respiration.


Cellular respiration occurs in what cells?

Anaerobic respiration occurs in some bacteria and fungi as well as yeasts.

Where in the cell does the aerobic cellular respiration occur or take place?

Prokaryotic and animal cells. As well as plant cells which preform Cellular Respiration after photosynthesis. Basically, all living organisms perform Cellular Respiration.
