diffrentiate between-combustion and respiration.
Answers
Respiration:
• It is a cellular process (takes place inside cells)
• Energy is released in the form of heat.
• Temperature is controlled.
• Oxidation occurs.
• Enzymes take place in the process.
Combustion:
• Not a cellular process.
• Energy is released in a single step.
• Temperature is very high.
• Already oxidised.
• No enzymes take place in this process.
Fuel for oxidation reaction in respiration is food whereas fuel for oxidation reaction in combustion is usually hydrocarbons.
Respiration is a cellular processwhere asCombustion does not occur inside the living cell
Respiration is a controlled biological process where as Combustion is an uncontrolled process.
Energy is released in a stepwise manner with different biochemical reactions in respiration where as Energy is released in a single step in combustion
Enzymes are required for the process of respiration where as Enzymes are not required for combustion as it is a non-cellular process.
Example of respiration: Aerobic respiration and Example of combustion : Combustion of oxygen and hydrogen into water vapour.
