Solution

Dear student!
Both the processes i.e. respiration and burning of a candle are similar process and follow oxidation reaction or combustion in presence of oxygen.
Actually, during respiration we inhale oxygen gas which oxidizes and burns the food and produces energy and similarly the candle burns in presence of oxygen gas to produce. energy in the form of light
