Combustion is burning.it releases energy rapidly providing large amounts of energy in a short time.

Respiration is breathing and oxidation. Energy is released in a controlled way.

Why does the energy between burning and respiration differ?

Both burning and respiration require a supply of oxygen. Both burning and respiration obtain it from the air, and both burning and respiration create carbon dioxide. Whereas ordinary burning is easily recognised as a form of combustion, respiration is a form of "slow combustion". Similarly in a garden the compost heap develops heat from slow combustion; heat which you can easily detect if you put a load of grass cuttings and leaves into it and test its temperature half a day later. Faster burning (combustion) would be seen if you had a bonfire on the Fifth of November.


What is carbon dioxide produced by both the processes of?

Carbon dioxide is produced by both the process of respiration in animals and the combustion of fossil fuels in cars, factories, and power plants.


Differences between burning and respiration?

Burning is a chemical reaction that involves the rapid combination of a fuel source with oxygen, resulting in the release of heat and light. Respiration is a biological process in which cells convert glucose into ATP, generating energy for cellular functions. While both processes release energy, burning is more rapid and uncontrolled, while respiration is a controlled process that occurs in living cells.


Which gas is produced as a waste product by combustion and by respiration and is also a 'greenhouse gas'?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the gas produced as a waste product by combustion and respiration. It is a greenhouse gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect and global warming.


Name and formulas for the three gases that are part of your everyday lives?

Oxygen (O2) - essential for respiration and combustion. Carbon dioxide (CO2) - produced by human respiration and combustion. Nitrogen (N2) - makes up a significant portion of Earth's atmosphere.

What are the differences between rusting and respiration?

rusting is a process in which iron oxide is formed on iron in the presence of oxygen and water. respiration includes the burning or combustion of food for the release of energy with the presence of oxygen or without oxygen.


What are the similarities and differences between combustion and respiration?

Similarities ; Both involve the movement and chemical change of gases. Difference ; Combustion is the consumption of oxygen and a carbon containing compound to form carbon dioxide. Respiration ; in the consumption of carbon dioxide to form oxygen and biomass using UV light.


Connection between combustion and cell respiration?

They both release carbon.


What are the similarities between respiration and combustion?

Both respiration and combustion involve the process of breaking down molecules to release energy by combining oxygen and fuel. They both produce carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. In both processes, energy is released in the form of heat.


What are differences between rapid and spontaneous combustion?

The spontaneous combustion flows very slowly and occur by self heating.


What are the difference between respiration and combustion?

Respiration is a biological process that occurs in living organisms to produce energy, using oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide as a byproduct. Combustion is a chemical process that involves the rapid oxidation of a material, typically a fuel, with the release of heat and light. Respiration is a controlled process that occurs in cells, while combustion is an uncontrolled process that typically occurs in the presence of a flame or spark.


What is the difference between respiration and combustion?

Respiration is the process where living organisms convert glucose into energy in the presence of oxygen, producing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. Combustion is a chemical reaction where a substance rapidly reacts with oxygen, producing heat and light energy along with carbon dioxide and water vapor in the case of organic materials. Respiration is a controlled process in living organisms, while combustion is a rapid and uncontrolled process.
