Anaerobic respiration in plants produces ethanol (C2H5OH) whose accumulation may kill the plant, whereas in animals anaerobic respiration produces lactic acid (CH3CH(OH)COOH) that however cannot cause death of animal but lead to minor muscle cramps, but they can be cured with hot water bath or a massage.
Bacterial plasmids carry a genome against a specific antibiotic. The process whereby bacterial cells take up the plasmid with the resistance gene is called cloning.
