Detailed Solution

Difference between Anaerobic Respiration in Plants and Animals

Anaerobic Respiration in Plants

  • Can be very harmful for plants.
  • Happens in the absence of oxygen, and carbon dioxide is released.
  • Glucose breaks down to form ethanol and carbon dioxide.
  • May lead to the death of the plant.
  • Commonly occurs during fermentation.

Anaerobic Respiration in Animals

  • Not as harmful as in plants.
  • Also occurs without oxygen, but carbon dioxide is not released.
  • Glucose breaks down to form lactic acid.
  • Does not kill the organism, but causes muscle cramps and fatigue.
  • Happens mainly when animals need quick energy.
