1. Differentiate between
(a) Respiration and Combustion
Respiration | Combustion |
It takes place inside the living cells |
It is a non-cellular process |
It is a biochemical process | It is a physiochemical process |
Energy is released in steps as chemical bonds are broken in steps | Energy is released in a single step as all chemical reactions take place simultaneously |
Most of the energy is in the form of ATP | ATP formation does not occur |
It requires enzymes | It is a non-enzymatic process |
