2. Plants do not present great demands for gas exchange.
3. Gas diffusion in plants occurs easily over long distances in plants.
4. Each living cell in a plant is located quite close to the surface of the plant.

In the absence of oxygen, the primary purpose of fermentation is to:
1. produce amino acids for protein synthesis
2. generate a proton gradient for ATP synthesis
3. oxidize glucose to generate reduce electron carriers
4. regenerate NAD+ from NADH allowing glycolysis to continue
