Why respiration is called combustion
  • 1 answers

Gaurav Seth 4 years ago

Slow combustion is a form of combustion which consumes time and takes place slowly. Cellular 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. When a hydrocarbon burns, such a natural gas or methane (CH4), it combines with oxygen, producing CO2 and water and large amount of energy.

However, the energy released in combustion and respiration are very different.
