Answer:

Combustion is the breakdown of carbon compounds in the presence of oxygen, into carbon dioxide, and water with the release of energy in the form of heat.

Explanation:

Respiration is a stepwise breakdown of glucose to release CO2 and energy. This energy is utilized to perform various cellular functions. For us to live, it is important for the metabolic processes of cells to occur with the help of energy released in the form of ATP during respiration.

What is ATP?

ATP is Adenosine TriPhosphate, a molecule that is like the energy currency of the cell.

When heat or energy is released from respiration ADP (Adenosine DiPhosphate) uses this energy to form a bond with inorganic phosphate (iP) to form ATP. ATP then, when needed in any biological function breaks into ADP and iP and gives out energy.

ADP + iP + energy --- > ATP\\ATP --- > ADP + iP + energy

Your question is talking about one process only, however, I think you meant, how respiration is different from the normal combustion of carbon compounds in the atmosphere.

  1. Respiration occurs inside the cell where oxygen supply is limited, whereas combustion occurs outside the biological condition, in the atmosphere.
  2. Heat dissipated during respiration is consumed to form bonds or break bonds. However, there is no such utilization of heat during combustion, thus we see flames or feel warm when it happens
