Question

Is digestion an example of combustion explain in detail

Answer 1

Your cells mix oxygen molecules with sugar molecules and get an oxidation reaction a slow reaction where the atoms combine in new ways to make carbon dioxide molecules and water molecules, with some leftover energy. Digeation gives off just the same amount of energy as burning the same amount of food in a fire.

Answer 2

Digestion is not an example of combustion. Digestion is an endothermic process where energy is utilized to break down the complex food molecules into simple forms. In a combustion reaction carbon dioxide,water,energy and some by products are released.
