Answer 1

•Respiration:

Respiration is the process of oxidation of glucose to energy molecules for the processes of repair,growth and maintainance

•Combustion:

Combustion is the process of addition of oxygen with organic compounds is termed as Combustion

Similarities:

Respiration and Combustion are exothermic in nature,heat energy is released

The process of oxidation is occurs in both the processes

Carbondioxide gas is released during respiration and combustion

Answer 2

SIMILARITIES BETWEEN COMBUSTION AND RESPIRATION :

COMBUSTION :

• The process of burning is known as "Combustion".

• Combustion is exothermic reaction.

• As, when we burn something the heat is liberated.

• The process of Combustion requires oxygen to burn.

• Carbon dioxide is liberated from the process of Combustion.

• Ex : Burning of coal

RESPIRATION :

• The process in which glucose is break down to produce energy is called as "Respiration".

• The process of Respiration requires Oxygen.

• In the process of Respiration carbon dioxide is liberated.

• Heat is also produced in the process of Respiration.

• Respiration is also Exothermic reaction.
