Solution

Respiration Combustion
1. It only happens in live cells. 1. It doesn't happen inside a living cell.
2. It's done with the help of a variety of enzymes. 2. This procedure does not require the use of enzymes
3. Food oxidation and energy liberation occur in a step-by-step process. 3. The compounds are oxidized. Instantaneously, with a burst of energy.
4. It takes place at the organism's body temperature. 4. A fire with a high temperature is caused by a quick release of energy.
5. 60 percent of energy is lost as body heat, whereas 40 percent is converted into new chemical energy (ATP). 5. Combustion energy is dispersed as heat and, to a lesser extent, light.
