Which of the following statements is incorrect for Anaerobic respiration?
A
Incomplete breakdown of respiratory substrate
B
End products ate Ethanol or Lactic acid with CO2
C
Occurs in the absence of O2
D
It is common in higher plants
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plant cells do not have mitochondria and therefore cannot respire using aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration occurs in the cytoplasm, therefore plants do experience anaerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anaerobic respiration is not more effective than aerobic respiration because anaerobic respiration yields less energy compared to aerobic respiration. Hence, the correct answer is option (C). Note: Aerobic respiration takes place in organisms that are found in oxygen-rich environments.
