Both use a fuel and oxygen to release carbon dioxide and energy. The only major difference is that aerobic respiration releases energy a lot slower than burning does.

How is respiration similar to burning of fuel?
In what way is respiration like burning?
What is the relationship between the chemical equation for photosynthesis and the chemical equation for cellular respiration?
They are reversible chemical reactions, meaning that the products of one process are the exact reactants for the opposite processChemical reaction, Carbon dioxide and water combine in presence of sunlight.
Is burning food a physical change?
No. It is a chemical change. By the way, burning something is a chemical change only.
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.
Why does glucose oxidized chemically rather than oxidized by burning?
Ah, but glucose can be oxidized by burning. It is quite possible to melt glucose, and ignite it. Why woudn't you want that to happen inside your body? Do you have a boiler in your abdomen? an ignition chamber perhaps?--You do not. Chemical oxidation is the most efficient way an organism can get useful energy out of a reduced compound like glucose, but it is by no means the only way to oxidize it.
How is respiration similar to burning of fuel?
In what way is respiration like burning?
Give one way that combustion and respiration are the same?
burning of fuel are the good example of combustion and respiration
What would be the Most efficient form of cellular respiration result in production of ATP?
There are many ways to product ATP. The most efficient way to produce ATP is Aerobic respiration, this produces 34 ATP molecules.
Why aerobic training burns fat?
Aerobic training aids in fat burning by simply burning calories. If you consume less calories than you burn then you lose weight, if not then you don't. Aerobic training is one way to burn more calories so that you can get the equation on the side that you want it on.
Is HIV aerobic or anaerobic?
MRSA is is a facultative anaerobe (as are all staphylococcus species) that grows by aerobic respiration. (So, in a way, it's a bit of a tricky question.)
The terminal electron acceptor in aerobic respiration is water is it broken down to hydrogen and oxygen?
No, it is the other way round:The terminal electron acceptor in aerobic respiration is oxygen. Together with H+ ions water molecules are formed. O2 + 4 e- + 4 H+ ==> 2 H2O
What are the mitocondria needed in a cell?
As an energy source for aerobic organisms - they have a monopoly on burning hydrogen in oxygen in a biologically sensible way.
What are the mitocondria needed for in a cell?
As an energy source for aerobic organisms - they have a monopoly on burning hydrogen in oxygen in a biologically sensible way.
What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
Aerobic Respiration :Respiration that uses oxygen and anerobic is done without oxygenNew Answer :Aerobic RespirationRespiration That uses Oxygen to form Co2 , H2o and Energy is called Aerobic RespirationThe Equation is :Food + O2 = Co2 + H2o + EnergyAnaerobic Respiration :Respiration that Does not use Oxygen to Form : Co2 , Ethanol and EnergyThe Equation is :Glucose = Pyrovic Acid = Co2 + Ethanol + EnergyHere = is givesand Ethanol = C2H5OHThanks hope this helpedGood LuckMain diffenernce between the two is - Anaerobic respiration is without oxygen, Aerobic with oxygen
What is the difference between and anaerobic and aerobic?
Aerobic uses a lot of air and is often cardiovascular.For example , like running.Anaerobic is strength and does not use a lot of air.For example , like lifting weights.Do you mean in terms of respiration, or exercise? I answered above based on exercise.Aerobic biological processes occur in the presence of Oxygen [O2] while anaerobic processes occur only in the absence of O2.
Does aerobic respiration occur in plant cells?
Aerobic respiration is a form of respiration used by cells that requires oxygen to create energy. Plants mainly use photosynthesis, but also take in air by way of tiny pores called stomata. This form of aerobic respiration produces oxygen and glucose.
. How do aerobic bacteria differ from anaerobic bacteria?
aerobic bacteria use oxygen based respiration, anaerobic bacteria use either nonoxygen based respiration (e.g. nitrogen, sulfur) or fermentation.
