Question

The engine of a car uses petrol. Oxygen from the air combines with the petrol, releasing
energy which is used to turn the wheels of the car. Waste gases from the burned petrol are
given off in the exhaust fumes of the car.
a) Which characteristics of a car are similar to which characteristics of a living organism?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Gasoline and diesel vehicles are similar. They both use internal combustion engines. A gasoline car typically uses a spark-ignited internal combustion engine, rather than the compression-ignited systems used in diesel vehicles. In a spark-ignited system, the fuel is injected into the combustion chamber and combined with air. The air/fuel mixture is ignited by a spark from the spark plug. Although gasoline is the most common transportation fuel, there are alternative fuel options that use similar components and engine systems.
