Which 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.
