Carsen · Answer 1

Both release carbon into the atmosphere, but burning fossil fuels releases CO2 at a much greater amount.

Both cellular respiration and combustion require a core fuel for the process to happen at all.

Camilla Bradshaw · Answer 2

Carbon dioxide and water are bi-products of both cellular respiration and the burning of fossil fuels.
