Question

Compare the burning of carbon compounds with respiration.

Answer 1

Answer:

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. It's as if our bodies burn our food for energy.

Answer 2

In the burning of carbon compounds carbon and hydrogen present in the inorganic matter are oxidised. In the respiration carbon and hydrogen present in organic matter are oxidised.
