The products of anaerobic respiration differ due to the different fermentation pathways used by plants and animals. In animals, the end product is lactic acid due to lactic acid fermentation. In plants and yeast, the end products are ethanol and carbon dioxide due to alcoholic fermentation. The differences are based on enzyme availability and metabolic needs.
