Detailed explanation-1: -Anaerobic Respiration in Plants / Fungi When plants or fungi respire they produce ethanol (alcohol) and carbon dioxide.
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: -It produces lactic acid instead of carbon dioxide and water. This type of respiration is only used for short intervals. In the absence of oxygen, the process does not result in the development of any more ATP molecules.
