What process occurs in plants during anaerobic respiration?
Correct answer: A. Alcoholic fermentation
- A. Alcoholic fermentation
- B. Lactic acid fermentation
- C. Photosynthesis
- D. Aerobic respiration
Explanation
During anaerobic respiration in plants, the correct process is alcoholic fermentation. In this process, glucose is broken down without oxygen to produce ethanol, carbon dioxide, and a small amount of energy. The other options-lactic acid fermentation, photosynthesis, and aerobic respiration-are incorrect because they either occur in animals, require oxygen, or involve light energy rather than releasing energy without oxygen.

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
