Which fact should be considered while identifying a similarity between respiration and combustion?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Both are oxidation processes that release energy
In respiration, food substances such as glucose undergo controlled oxidation and release energy. In combustion, a fuel undergoes relatively rapid oxidation and releases energy. Thus, both are energy-releasing oxidation processes. Option B is incorrect because respiration does not require a flame.
