What are some common reaction?

Metals rusting, wood or fuel burning, yeast fermenting sugar, and cellular respiration are common chemical reactions.


How are cellular respiration in cells and combustion alike?

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).

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.


Burning wood a physical or chemical?

Burning wood is a chemical reaction because combustion (burning) is an oxidation reaction.


What is the chemical reaction of burning a paper?

Burning is an oxydation reaction.


How is a forest fire an analogy of cellular respiration?

Because cellular respiration is the process by which turning ADP into ATP, while burning a fire is just a release of energy. Cellular Respiration= gaining of energy Burning a fire=losing energy.

How does wood that is not burning differ from a non flammable material?

Cellular oxidation is part of cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is the set of the metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products. The reactions involved in respiration are catabolic reactions that involve the redox reaction.
