Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Name the products of anaerobic respiration in plants
A
Water + ethanol
B
Lactic acid
C
Ethanol + carbon dioxide
D
Carbon dioxide + water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation of the correct answer: Anaerobic respiration occurs as the partial breakdown or oxidation of glucose due to the absence of oxygen. This incomplete breakdown leads to the formation of Ethanol, Carbon Dioxide, and Energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -In response to hypoxia under submergence, plants switch from aerobic respiration to anaerobic fermentation, which leads to the accumulation of the end product, ethanol.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ethanol is produced by anaerobic fermentation of glucose by Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Detailed explanation-5: -Anaerobic respiration is the process in which an incomplete breakdown of glucose occurs in the absence of oxygen in the cells. In this process, carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol are generally produced as the end products.
