Is respiration considered as a combustion reaction? After all the starting products are a hydrocarbon that reacts with oxygen to provide carbon dioxide and heat. I'll mark the best answer as the brainliest.

respiration is primarily an energy-yielding dissimilation process and a phenomenon exhibited by all living organisms.
respiration is an example of slow combustion. In respiration, glucose is oxidised and carbon dioxide and energy are released in the process. This is a very similar reaction to combustion.
Slow combustion is a form of combustion which takes place at low temperatures. Cellular respiration is an example of slow combustion.
