Why do candles stop burning when you cover them

Biology

stepan [7]3 years ago

 <span>The substance that reacts with the candle wax is oxygen. It comes from the air. Putting the jar over the candle keeps oxygen from outside the jar from getting in.  The reaction can only use the oxygen that is already in the jar. So, when that oxygen is used up, the reaction can’t keep going. Running out of oxygen makes the flame go out. </span>

Because fire heats the air, making it much thicker and uses up oxygen. if it runs out of oxygen, it cant keep itself lit.

Do autotrophs need to perform cellular respiration?
nydimaria [60]
Many autotrophs make food through the process of photosynthesis, in which light energy from the sun is changed to chemical energy that is stored in glucose. All organisms use cellular respiration to break down glucose, release its energy, and make ATP. Autotrophs are also called producers. They produce food not only for themselves but for all other living things as well (which are known as consumers). This is why autotrophs form the basis of food chains.
Yes, autotrophs need to perform cellular respiration.
