When your body burns food for energy carbon dioxide and water are released. This process is called respiration and it is exactly like the respiration process performed by yeast in making pizza dough.?

Yes, exactly. The gases cause the dough to rise.

Is carbon dioxide as a waste describing photosynthesis?
I'm not exactly sure, but I'm almost 100% sure that it's respiration not photosynthesis
How does a cow breathe?
The physiology of a cow's respiration system is exactly the same as a human's or any other mammal. Oxygen is taken into the lungs via expansion of the lungs by the downward force exerted by the diaphragm, oxygen is exchanged with carbon dioxide at the capillary level in the alveoli of the lungs, and carbon dioxide is released outside by exhaling, when the diaphragm exerts and upward force and the lungs contract. This process repeats throughout the cow's life, and is an involuntary movement that keeps her alive.
Does respiration only happen at night for plants?
it's exactly the same as in the day; you don't need sunlight for respiration
Is carbon dioxide trapped by plants during the night?
Plants don't exactly "trap" carbon dioxide, they diffuse carbon dioxide into their leaves through tiny holes called stomata. No, at night plants do not photosynthesize (because they need light to do so) so they have no need for carbon dioxide. Instead, as they still need to respire, they produce carbon dioxide as a waste product from respiration.
Why could respiration be called 'slow combustion'?
Respiration is the process of turning inhaled oxygen into exhale carbon dioxide and creating energy. This is a very similar reaction to that of combustion. When a hydrocarbon burns, such a natural gas or methane (CH4), it combines with oxygen, producing CO2 and water. The definition of combustion is a reaction in which something is oxidized in an exothermic reaction, and that is exactly what happens in respiration.
What is the difference of respiration in plants and animals?
None they are exactly the same.
Is carbon dixide in smoke?
Not exactly. Everything is made from carbon, and when it is burned, the gas carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, but it's not necessarily inside the smoke.
Why is photosynthesis important for respiration?
Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are the processes by which plant and animal cells produce energy, allowing them to function and stay alive.
Which cell structure carries out cellular respiration?
Respiration isn't exactly carried out by one cell, its more of a system of cells working together to produce energy.The oxygen in the air is absorbed into the blood through alveoli in the lungs and likewise the carbon dioxide in the blood is diffused into the air in the lungs through the alveoli.The red blood cells carry the oxygen to the areas of the body where it is needed for energy production through aerobic respiration by bonding the oxygen to hemoglobin in the cell.Almost all cells in the body require oxygen to produce energy through the process of aerobic respiration, however the obvious example would be muscle cells as these generally do the most work at any given time.So I would say that the types of cells that carry out respiration are probably a mixture of red blood cells, alveoli and muscle cells.
What is the difference between cellular respiration and burning marshmallow?
Nothing. It's exactly the same thing.
What do you use carbon dioxide?
Well I use carbon dioxide in my fire extinguisher. What do you use carbon dioxide, or to put it another way? In what do you use carbon dioxide? Humans breathe out carbon dioxide... Breathing it out is not exactly using it. That would be more like making it.
Is cellular respiration a reverse process of photosynthesis?
Yes, they are nearly the exact opposite. While the equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2+6H2O (in the presence of light)yields C6H12O6+6O2 the equation for respiration is C6H12O6+6O2 (in the presence of enzymes) yields 6CO2+6H2O As you can see, the factor in these equations preventing them from being completely opposite is the presence of light or the presence of enzymes. In this aspect, the equations are not the opposite.
