← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when mangrove aerial roots' lenticels are submerged during prolonged high tide events?
A)Increased salt excretion throughout leaves
B)Greater anaerobic respiration rate✓
C)Enhanced CO2 uptake efficiencies
D)Accelerated nutrient transport rates
💡 Explanation
Submerged mangrove lenticels trigger increased anaerobic respiration because oxygen availability severely decreases, therefore energy production sustains the plant, rather than efficient aerobic metabolism under typical conditions.
