Which process that occurs in living organisms is SIMILAR to the burning of fossil fuels?

1 answer:

7 0

The answer is respiration.

The burning of fossil fuels is known as combustion. It is often compared with cellular respiration.
The general equation of cellular respiration is:
glucose + oxygen → water + carbon dioxide

The general equation of combustion is:
fuel + oxygen → water + carbon dioxide

Both reactions involve breaking down of large molecules (glucose and fuel) using oxygen into water and carbon dioxide. In both reactions, chemical energy is transformed into more useful form.
