Answer/Explanation:

In Cellular respiration, organisms use oxygen to break down down to food molecules in order to produce energy that is needed for body function.

Combustion, which is also known as burning, also involves the use of oxygen in the break down of chemical bonds to produce energy.

Both processes give off carbon dioxide in the process along with the energy they release.

Therefore, both processes seem very much alike.
