Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Combustion is a chemical process in which a substance interacts with oxygen and gives off heat. Digestion is a sort of combustion in which our bodies use glucose to make energy while also releasing carbon dioxide and water vapour. Food digestion takes more than 8 hours to finish. However, this process happens in the presence of enzymes and digestive juices, releasing energy for metabolic activities. As a result, it is an example of slow combustion since food digestion and energy release occurs very slowly.
