They both release energy
Nothing. It's exactly the same thing.
At a molecular level they are the same thing and release the same products -CO2 and energy.
Respiration is breathing Combustion is burning
burning of fuel are the good example of combustion and respiration
Both are about the release of energy but respiration is about the controlled release of energy.
Yes,it is some what similar. When taking chemical equation it is same.
respiration is the break down of food substances mainly glucose in the prsence of oxygen, while burning is usually refered to combustion
combustion is a burning of carbohydrate molecule in the presence of oxygen in blood while respiration is process of breathing through which the body and blood gets oxygen.
In what way is respiration like burning?
When a log is burning, it burns energy quickly; and when cellular respiration happens, it burns energy gradually.
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.
Respiration and breathing are the same thing.
