Anaerobic respiration cannot continue for long in higher organisms because of:

  2. Decomposition of large amount of substrates, so that little is left for growth and repairs,
  3. Toxic effect of end products in higher concentration,
  4. Inhibition of a number of physiological process linked with aerobic respiration.
