Question

How are respiration and burning similar?

Answer 1

Respiration:

1. Respiration is the metabolic process in which an organism derives energy in the form of ATP molecules by the breakdown of glucose molecules.
2. Based on oxygen availability, cellular respiration can either be aerobic respiration or anaerobic respiration.

Burning:

Burning is a chemical reaction that occurs in substances in the presence of oxygen and is accompanied by the generation of high amounts of heat and light.

Similarities between respiration and burning:

1. Both processes require oxygen for the production of energy.
2. They produce carbon dioxide as a byproduct.
