They are both redox reactions involving reacting oxygen with a fuel (glucose), generating energy in the process. If you are familiar with the chemical definition of a combustion reaction, it can be seen that the overall equation of cellular respiration is exactly the same as the chemical reaction for burning glucose in air. However, even though the overall equation is the same, the actual process of cellular respiration is much more controlled than regular combustion (otherwise we'd all be burning inside our cells).
Cellular respiration in cells and combustion are similar in that they both involve the breakdown of molecules to release energy. Both processes are exothermic reactions that produce heat and ATP (adenosine triphosphate) as a form of energy currency. Additionally, both processes involve the consumption of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide as byproducts.

What type of cells obtain energy from cellular respiration?
All cells obtain energy from cellular respiration. Some undergo anaerobic respiration and some undergo aerobic respiration.
Where in the cell does the aerobic cellular respiration occur or take place?
Prokaryotic and animal cells. As well as plant cells which preform Cellular Respiration after photosynthesis. Basically, all living organisms perform Cellular Respiration.
What substances are nedded for cellular respiration to take place and what substances are during cellular respiration?
The substances that are needed for cellular respiration are glucose and oxygen. During cellular respiration, the cells convert food into usable energy.
What gas is used by eukaryotic cells for cellular respiration?
Oxygen is the gas used by eukaryotic cells for cellular respiration. Oxygen is required for the process of oxidative phosphorylation, which is the final stage of cellular respiration where ATP is produced.
Differentiate between external inertial cellular respiration?
The external inertial respiration refers to breathing, while the cellular respiration refers to respiration between the cells.
When occurs cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration occurs when cells oxidize food molecules into carbon dioxide and water. Cellular respiration is the process that cells use to get their energy.
Where does the combustion of the food take place?
In your body.
What type of cells obtain energy from cellular respiration?
All cells obtain energy from cellular respiration. Some undergo anaerobic respiration and some undergo aerobic respiration.
When is cellular respiration?
cellular respiration is preformed when the cells need to obtain energy from glucose.
How are the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
they are alike because in photosynthesis plants create oxygen. cells use the oxygen that plants produce in cellular respiration to get cells oxygen.there for it makes a cycle. plants produce oxygen,cells take oxygen,we produce carbondioxide, plants use carbon dioxide in photosynthesis.
What does Cellular respiration occurs in?
Cells

Why do we do cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration is the process by which cells produce ATP for energy. Also, cellular respiration is much more efficient than fermentation, the process by which single celled organisms. (Cellular respiration produces 18 times more ATP than fermentation) Essentially, without cellular respiration is what keeps the cells in your body functioning.
Do plant cells have cellular respiration?
Yes they do.
How do most cells get energy?
by cellular respiration
