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.

What are the similarities between respiration and burning fuels?
At a molecular level they are the same thing and release the same products -CO2 and energy.
In what way is aerobic respiration like burning?
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.
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.
What other energy is produced during respiration?
What other energy made during respiration
Burning fuels which energy converted into heat energy?
Burning fuels, chemical energy is converted to heat energy
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.
What is the same between respiration and burning?
They both release energy
What is the same thing between respiration and burning?
Both are about the release of energy but respiration is about the controlled release of energy.
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.
What are the similarities between respiration and burning fuels?
At a molecular level they are the same thing and release the same products -CO2 and energy.
The burning of a fuel by a cell to obtain energy is called?
Respiration
What are the similarities between respiration and burning?
they are both used to release energy out of oxygen
What is the product of burning and respiration?
oxygen blood light energy and sex
What is true of the role of carbohydrates in photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
Carbohydrates are made in photosynthesis. it is burning in the cellular respiration.
In what way is aerobic respiration like burning?
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.
What are the differences between rusting and respiration?
rusting is a process in which iron oxide is formed on iron in the presence of oxygen and water. respiration includes the burning or combustion of food for the release of energy with the presence of oxygen or without oxygen.
Which process of burning food inside an organism's cells to release energy is called?
Respiration.
