can you say combustion & respiration are almost same actions ? what are evidences

Heya!
They are very different from each other friend..
Here's is the explaination
==========================================================
respiration is the process where oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is exhaled out and combustion means the burning of substances in the presence of oxygen.
SIMILARITIES OF RESPIRATION:
The waste products of carbon dioxide and water are also formed. Combustion, which is the burning of carbon compounds, which are fossil fuels, is often compared to cellular respiration because the two processes are extremely similar
DIFFERENCE:
respiration :
1. It is a biological process. It is under biological control.
2. It takes place at normal temperature.
3. Respiration is a slow process. Thus the energy is also liberated in several steps and remain stored in the form of ATP.
4. Several enzymes are involved. The process is bio chemical.
5. Only part of energy is liberated as heat.
6. Oxygen is employed as an oxidant only at the end of the reaction.
Combustion or Burning : It is the sequence of exothermic chemical reactions between a fuel and an oxidant accompanied by the production of heat and conversion of chemical species. The release of heat can produce light in the form of either glowing or a flame.
burning:
1. It is a chemical process. It is an uncontrolled process.
2. It takes place at high temperature
3. Combustion is a fast process in which the energy is liberated only in one step resulting in increase in temperature and production of fire.
4. Enzymes are not involved. The process is physio chemical.
5. Most of the energy is produced as heat.
6. Oxygen is directly used in the process.

Yes respiration and combustion are somewhat similar in actions.
Explanation:
The combustion can be defined as the burning of the fossil fuels in the presence of oxygen. The burning of fossil fuel in the presence of oxygen generates heat and energy and carbon dioxide is released into the environment.
Whereas in case of respiration, the glucose is burned in the presence of oxygen and carbon dioxide and water is released by the body.
The energy that is produced is in the form of adenosine tri phosphate which provides energy for all the cellular process.
So, these two processes are somewhat similar to each other.
