Answer:

The burning of wood and the burning of food calories produce carbon dioxide and heat. The calory burning gives energy to the body but in wood burning only wood becomes a carbon compound i.e. ash.

Explanation:

The burning of wood and the burning of calories release carbon dioxide and heat. In the body, oxygen breaks down the food calories and produces CO2 which release from the body by exhalation. The heat produced by food burning causes sweating. Oxygen also helps in burning of wood. In this way the food calory burning and wood burning are similar.  

In calory burning the complex food becomes simpler and helps in tissue metabolism. In wood burning atmospheric oxygen helps in burning, and they release other gases like carbon monoxide, nitrogen to the environment which is not happening in case of metabolism. The complete burning of wood results in carbon compounds. In calories burning excess energy is stored in the form of fat. Because food calories are nothing but energy derive from different food.

Similarity: both burnings lead to energy production and both result in CO2 emission.
difference: food is burned in the process called cellular respiration. this process consists of a few certain stages preventing our body from heat shock.

This type of bond results in the exchange of electrons?
MissTica
An ionic bond results in an exchange or transfer of electrons between the 2 different types of atoms, most likely the metal atom and nonmetal one.

For example the compound NaF is held together by electrostatic forces of positive and negative charges due to the transfer of electrons from the sodium to fluoride atom.

Answer:

Both electromagnetic and mechanical waves are the movement of energy. They can be measured in the same ways too. The amplitude, frequency, and wavelength are ways to represent the measurements of waves. Additionally, they both have crests and troughs. Finally, both can be reflected, absorbed, or transmitted.
