Sometimes,higher plants and animals also perform anaerobic respiration
Answers
Answer:
Anaerobic respiration happens in both animals and plants. ... When glucose molecules break down in anaerobic respiration, the pyruvate stays in cells. The lactic acid needs to be oxidized to water and carbon dioxide later. In yeast, pyruvate is first converted to ethanol and then to ethanol.
Answer:
When availability of oxygen is limited, higher animals and plants can also show anaerobic respiration. For example, during exercise the availability of oxygen to the muscles is limited, as a result of which they undergo anaerobic respiration and results in the production of lactic acid. Similarly plants may also show anaerobic respiration in case of water logged roots and result in the production of ethyl alcohol, carbon dioxide and energy. Althought the energy obatained through anerobic respiration is less as compared to the energy released during aerobic respiration.
