• Anaerobic respiration is done by the organisms which live in a condition with very little oxygen or no oxygen at all such as some of the bacteria and prokaryotic organisms. 
• Also the cells in the body of a multicellular organism when they are used for extreme physical active where the body may not be able to provide oxygen to each and every cells. For example muscles of arms and legs while excriseing. 
• In anaerobic condition the glucose molecule will undergo glycolysis where it is broken down to 2 molecules of pyruvate wilt the net gain of 2 ATP after which dur to unavailability of oxygen the pyruvate will under go lactic acid fermentation or alcoholic fermentation where the pyruvate molecule is converted to lactic acid or ethanol & carbon dioxide respectively with the regeneration of NAD for the continuation of glycolysis. 
• Prokaryotic organisms perform this type of respiration as they do not have membrane bound organelles like mitochondria which is required for the competion of the aerobic cellular respiration. 
• Also some of the aerobic respiring cells can survive in no oxygen condition for sometime by respiring this way. But they are usually under a stressful condition where they cells will not grow or divide as they whole energy will be focused on conserving energy and surviving. 
• And prokaryotic organisms which mostly have cellular level of organisation or a single celled they are provided with immediate burst of ATP by breaking down glucose by glycolysis. 
• Therefore the correct answer for this option B and C

• In anaerobic respiration, glucose breaks down without oxygen.
•  The chemical reaction transfers energy from glucose to the cell.
•  Anaerobic respiration produces lactic acid, rather than carbon dioxide and water. Hence, The respiration carried in the absence of oxygen is called anaerobic respiration.

Anaerobic respiration is a type of respiration that does not use oxygen. It is used when there is not enough oxygen for aerobic respiration. 
Anaerobic respiration in some microorganisms (such as yeast) produces ethanol and carbon dioxide, as opposed to lactic acid.

• Yeasts are eukaryotic, single-celled microorganisms classified as members of the fungus kingdom.
•  Yeast is a microorganism that can undergo aerobic as well as anaerobic respiration. 
• Yeast requires oxygen for growth. In addition to oxygen, they require a basic substrate such as sugar. 

• Myofibril activity is required for muscle contraction on the molecular level. 
• When ATP binds to myosin, it separates from the actin of the myofibril, which causes a contraction.
  
• The muscle contraction cycle is triggered by calcium ions binding to the protein complex troponin, exposing the active-binding sites on the actin.
  
• ATP then binds to myosin, moving the myosin to its high-energy state, releasing the myosin head from the actin active site.
• When ATP is exhausted lactic acid is produced 

Root pressure is caused in the Xylem vessels due to osmosis. It is a positive pressure which is developed due to Osmotic pressure which is high in the root as compared to the water column above.
