Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Anaerobic respiration in plants yields lactic acid .
A
true
B
false
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Anaerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration where respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen. The end product of anaerobic respiration in plants is ethanol. At the same time, the end product of anaerobic respiration in animals is lactic acid.

Detailed explanation-2: -So, the correct answer is ‘CO2 is given out’.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lactic acid fermentation is a type of anaerobic respiration. Glycolysis is an efficient pathway for extracting energy from glucose. Breaking down organic compounds to make ATP is the process called cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-4: -Carbon dioxide and ethanol are the byproducts of plants’ anaerobic respiration. It is also referred to as alcoholic fermentation since it results in the formation of ethyl alcohol. The medium appears foamy at the end of the reaction because carbon dioxide is produced.
