Your assumption is wrong. In anaerobic conditions (like in muscle tissue) lactic acid (and ethanol) fermentation occurs in plants too. It's bad for plants and if it continues for too long they die.

The process that releases energy without using oxygen is?

Anaerobic respiration is the process that releases energy without using oxygen. It occurs in the absence of oxygen and is less efficient than aerobic respiration. One example of anaerobic respiration is fermentation, which occurs in yeast cells and some bacteria.


What makes fermentation different in plantsbacteria and animals?

Fermentation in plants involves the breakdown of sugars to produce energy and metabolic byproducts. In bacteria, fermentation includes a diverse range of metabolic processes that convert organic compounds into energy. In animals, fermentation primarily occurs in the gut, where microbes help break down complex carbohydrates that the host cannot digest.


What is the purpose of the fermentation reactions after glycolysis?

The purpose of fermentation reactions after glycolysis is to regenerate NAD+ so that glycolysis can continue producing ATP in the absence of oxygen. Fermentation allows for the conversion of pyruvate into different end products (such as lactate or ethanol) to maintain cellular energy production in anaerobic conditions.


What end products are made in anaerobic respiration?

The products of aerobic respiration are water and carbon dioxide. The products of anaerobic respiration are carbon dioxide and either lactic acid or alcohol. The waste product of anaerobic respiration is lactic acid (in animals). In plants, ethanol is the waste product.


The process by which cells break down molecules to release energy without using oxygen?

Anerobic

What are the products of fermentation in plants and animals?

The products of plant fermentation are alcohol fermentation, ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide, or lactic acid fermentation. No further energy is gained for the cell.


What energy processes without oxygen?

Anaerobic respiration. Now there are two types: Alcoholic fermentation produces alcohol and occurs in plants and microorganisms like yeast. And lactate fermentation which produces lactate and occurs in animals - it is the lactate (or lactic acid) that causes muscle cramps when you have been running and your muscles havn't been getting enough oxygen. -Note: This is commonly referred to as just fermentation.


What do plants and animals release?

They release lots of things, it depends on what topic you are talking about. In General; Energy During Cellular Respiration; Co2 During Lactic Acid Fermentation: Lactic Acid During Alcohaulic Fermentation: Ethanol


When is fermentation used in a plant?

Fermentation in plants usually occurs in conditions where oxygen is limited, such as during root growth in waterlogged soil. Plant fermentation enables the cells to produce energy in the absence of oxygen by converting sugars into compounds like ethanol or lactic acid.


What function occurs in plants but not in animals?

Photosynthesis occurs in plants, but not in animals.


Name an organism in which alcoholic fermentation takes place?

Alcoholic fermentation occurs in plants, fungi (such as yeasts), and bacteria but not in animals.


What is the difference between the metabolism of plants and animals?

Plants conduct photosynthesis to produce energy, while animals consume organic matter for energy. Plants store energy as starch, while animals store energy as glycogen or fat. Plants have cell walls made of cellulose, while animals do not.

What process takes place in plants and animals to release energy?

Cell respiration and lactic acid fermentation release energy in the body. While cell respiration requires oxygen, fermentation does not. However, the buildup of lactic acid causes much pain in the body's muscles.


Does fragmentation occurs in both animals and plants?

yes plants and animals such as worms


What are the two possible products from anaeobic respiration in plants and animals?

energy + lactic acid.
