How is respiration similar to burning wood?

Answer 1

As we all know , in respiration we intake oxygen and gives out carbon dioxide,

for burning also oxygen is needed. In spite of oxygen wood cant be burned and along with burning, the gas coming out from wood is Carbon-dioxide.

Oxygen combines with carbon

Answer 2

Both respiration and burning wood involve a process of oxidation, where organic compounds are broken down in the presence of oxygen to release energy in the form of heat. In respiration, this process occurs in living cells to produce energy, while in burning wood it occurs in a combustion reaction to release heat and light. Both processes involve the conversion of organic molecules into carbon dioxide and water as byproducts.

Answer 3

They are similar because cellular respiration is when our mainfuel/energy, glucose, is burnt in the cells to produce carbon dioxide. - And that's burning of a fuel.

Answer 4

because both produces carbon dioxide
